Homemade mac & cheese is healthier than the store bought variety. With this recipe for Crock-Pot Macaroni and Cheese you know exactly what is in it!

Crock-Pot Macaroni and Cheese

I don’t know a kid who doesn’t like macaroni and cheese and MY kids are no exception to that rule. While in a pinch, a box of store bought mac and cheese will do. But in my humble opinion homemade is always better than anything you are going to find in a pouch of powder.

We have tried several homemade macaroni & cheese recipes over the years. Cooked on the stove top, baked in the oven and now this yummy version made in the slow cooker. And I have to say…this recipe, the kids absolutely adore!

MY LATEST VIDEOS

This recipe makes about 4 servings which I think is perfect if I am making it just for the kids or I am going to serve it as a side dish to go along with a main entree and vegetables. But if you need to make a bigger batch this recipe doubles easily and because the pasta noodles are cooked on the stove-top you do not really need to adjust the cooking time and your elbow macaroni won’t get mushy.

We now make this macaroni & cheese recipe in the slow cooker on a fairly regular basis and love it.

Hope you do too!
