How to make crockpot Mac and Cheese

Making macaroni and cheese in the slow cooker could not be easier, and it tastes just as good as the stove top version. Plus, you can prep this recipe in less than 10 minutes!

First, you will combine the half and half with the cheddar cheese soup and whisk together until it is a smooth sauce.

Next, add your spices to the cheese sauce and whisk well. The paprika, salt and pepper make a tasty combination, but you can use other spices as well to create the taste you prefer!

Once your cheese sauce is mixed in the crockpot, pour in the UNCOOKED pasta and half of the cheddar cheese and mix together well.

Then top the mixture with the other half of the cheddar cheese.

Finally, put the lid on the slow cooker, set on low, and allow to cook for three hours.

Crockpot mac and cheese only takes about two to three hours to cook in your slow cooker. Make sure you check on the macaroni periodically and stir it during the cooking process so that it doesn’t stick to the sides or burn. When the noodles are soft, creamy cheese sauce should have formed around them. Serve it up hot and enjoy!
