Creamy Crockpot Mac and Cheese

by Kelley Wilson Filed Under: Crockpot, Holiday, Kid Friendly Recipes, Parenting, Recipes, Side Dishes, Thanksgiving 16 Comments

Recently I came across a recipe from my friend Melissa from Serendipity and Spice,  Ultimate Mac and Cheese . I was intrigued at the thought of being able to make crockpot mac and cheese! I love my favorite recipe for baked mac and cheese and  decided to adjust it with some tips from her. I wanted to see just how easy it would be to turn a casserole recipe into a crockpot recipe.

Crockpot Mac and Cheese is the perfect side dish recipe for holidays or busy weeknight meals
WOW is all I can say! This slow cooker mac and cheese was so creamy and rich. It made a great side dish to our tropical pork loin. Dinner was a breeze and for a weeknight it was great to be able to make it on the side while I took care of other things. The biggest shocker was that my kids ate it. They are blue box mac and cheese devotees and have never eaten any other mac and cheese I've given them.
Crockpot Mac and Cheese is the perfect side dish recipe for holidays or busy weeknight mealsI used my  Slicer/Shredder Attachment  from my KitchenAid Mixer I scooted my Ninja 3-in1 slow cooker under it. It shredded everything right into the slow cooker. Saved me from having to wash another dish! I took Melissa’s suggestion about using freshly shredded cheese. Then I just threw in everything but the pasta and stirred it up. Once the pasta was al dente (which means a little under cooked it will still be somewhat firm or chewy) I strained it and threw it in and stirred. Put the lid on and cook on low for 2 1/2 hours. Melissa also gave one other great tip to not let your slow cooker sit on warm when it’s done or it will over cook things.

    I don't think I have ever heard of putting eggs in a Mac and cheese dish before and am wondering if you can tell they are in there and what they add to the dish. I would love to try some marscarpone cheese in it too! Food day at work so this seems like a winner. How many servings does it make?

      Hey, Teresa, the eggs thicken it and give it more of a custard/casserole feel rather than a liquidy cheese feel. I would say it does about 8-10 1/2 cup servings

    Hi! This is one of my FAVORITE recipes now and everyone who tries it at our house loves it. I have a question though: What would I have to do to make this in the oven? I want to make it a little faster but I don't want to ruin it! You referenced your favorite recipe but I couldn't quite find it.

    I am someone who doesn't like mustard AT ALL so I try to stay away from anything that says mustard but I feel like it might be what I am missing in my recipes.. Can you actually taste the ground mustard or is it more like an unnoticed flavor that it needs? Sorry for commenting out of no where.. I have no idea when this was posted!

      Hi Cheryl, no you don't get a mustard taste at all it just works as an acid to balance the dish. You won't even realize it's in there. Comments and questions on any post are always welcomed and answered!
