Slow cooker mac and cheese is the best, I make it all the time. Your recipe sounds awesome!Gaby
Cooking the pasta in a pot and them putting it in the crock pot for 3 hours already soft is not going to make it soggy? I really want to try it, just don't want it to be all mushy.Lb
I was thinking the same, maybe I'll try uncooked first, there seems to be enough liguud to soften it up.Trish
Add 1 cup water per cup of uncooked pasta if you want to cook the macaroni in the sauce. If using rotini the ratio is 1-1/2 cups rotini to 1 cup water.C scott
Do you have to use the condensed cheese soup, or can sub or leave put altogether?LinHawaii
I make slow cooker mac n cheese all the time. The recipe I use also calls for cooked macaroni but then it cooks in the slow cooker for an hour and a half, not 3 hours. I tried it once with uncooked noodles and they tasted awful. I will try this recipe as well, but unsure why you have to melt the cheddar in a pan first. I just throw everything in the pot and let go for an hour, stir and then cook another half hour and the cheese melts perfectly. Seems like melting it in butter first is an unnecessary step.Pat
It got gritty. It tasted great. Did I cook it too long?
