Crockpot Mac & Cheese
Pin it Here: http://pin.it/qUdLjqB
Ingredients:
- 12 ounce no cook elbow macaroni
- 3 & 3/4 cups milk
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 tsp. ground mustard (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
- 1/4 tsp. pepper (optional)
Directions:
- Add all ingredients to the crock pot and gently stir
- Set crock pot to high and cook for 2 hours (I stirred every 30 minutes)
- Feeds approximately 4-6
Additional Notes:
- Cooking time will vary by crockpot. Two hours was perfect for mine, check noodles after 2 hours and if need be, cook a little longer.
- This is a “homemade” dryer Mac & Cheese. If you want it super creamy, you can add a full brick of cream cheese and an additional cup of milk.
- Try some “Extras” Ham? Bacon? Toss some Frenchs Crispy Onions on top to give it some added taste and texture.

Needs more cheese! I LOVE cheese!
It’s not easy being cheese
Today will be my second time making this recipe. The first time i was concerned that the cheese sauce wasn’t thickening enough as it appeared to be very “milky”. I choose to add a ton more cheese all the shredded cheese I could find in my fridge guessing I used about an additional 2 cups between the three open bags I had. The mac and cheese turned out amazing compliments from everyone who tried it! This morming I am making this fecipe a second time and i will be using 6 cups of shredded cheese to ensure an ultimate level of chessyness!!!
Too cheesy? Impossible!
Made it exactly how the recipe reads and it had zero flavor
I made this and it didn’t have very much flavor according to the directions. I had to really pile on the salt and pepper to make it palatable.
Why can’t you just throw hard macaroni in it and let it cook with sauce.
you should be able to do that. The only thing you might need a little more liquid because the macaroni will soak up quite a bit just keep an eye on it and if you need to add a little more milk or cream you can have it. after you practice was it the first time the second time that should be easy
Read other user’s advice about adding spices for flavor and more cheese for thickening. In addition to 4 cups of chedder over 3 cups, I added 1tbsp of garlic powder and pepper, 1tsp of salt and the mixture was still lacking flavor. I then added 1 cup of parmesan cheese and it was perfect.
I too think you should be able to add noodles to it uncoomed whole point of crock pot one pan 🙂
I agree with Michelle. You should be able to add macaroni at the same time as everything else. One pot cooking.
Made this today with a couple changes – 3 cups milk instead of 2.5, 4 cups cheese instead of 3, added 1/4, cup grated parmesan, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper and put macaroni in uncooked. It was perfect. We had some left over shredded buffalo chicken and threw that in when finshed. Delicious!!!
