Believe it or not, it&#8217;s unbelievably creamy, no broken curdled sauce, no mushy noodles, and the taste is simply perfect.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\">My tricks to a good crockpot mac and cheese are to use a combination of cream, water, and evaporated milk &#8211; instead of regular or whole milk so it doesn&#8217;t curdle in the cheese sauce. Then also wait until closer to the end to add the shredded cheese so that doesn&#8217;t overheat and separate.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\">And another important key is to use a combination of cheeses for great flavor and texture. Sharp cheddar builds up the best traditional macaroni and cheese flavor, while each American cheese and Monterey Jack cheese create a velvety sauce.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\">The starches of cooking everything together in one pot (or slow cooker insert technically) also help create a smooth sauce.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\">This is a family favorite! It has a well-balanced flavor that isn&#8217;t too harsh so people of all ages love it, and the cook will love the ease of preparation.<\/p>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\">It&#8217;s jam-packed flavorful goodness in every bite and undoubtedly worthy of the holidays (it&#8217;s perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or potlucks), but yet simple enough for a weeknight side dish!<\/p>\n<h2 data-wp-editing=\"1\">Watch the Video for Crock Pot Mac and Cheese!<\/h2>\n<div id=\"recipe-video\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-video-container-65951\" class=\"wprm-recipe-video-container\"><span class=\"jumplink\" id=\"watch\"><\/span><div class=\"wprm-recipe-video\">\n<div class=\"adthrive-video-player in-post\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\" data-video-id=\"18eeTvSA\" data-player-type=\"default\" override-embed=\"default\">\n\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-05-20T15:01:44.000Z\" \/>\n\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Crockpot Mac and Cheese\" \/>\n\t\t<meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Crockpot Mac and Cheese made with hearty macaroni and over a pound of three cheeses!

The flavor won&#8217;t be as good or the texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brands of macaroni to use:<\/strong> I&#8217;ve made this recipe with several brands and we preferred Barilla. It&#8217;s a bit larger and holds up a little better and doesn&#8217;t seem to release as much starch as others.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slow cooker brand cook time:<\/strong> Note that every brand and model of slow cooker will cook at a different rate. For this recipe I use Crockpot brand slow cookers and they are known to cook high. If you have a different brand you will likely need to cook toward greater times listed and possibly even a little more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be careful not to over-stir:<\/strong> And stir gently. This is once pasta is partial cooked, then when stirring in cheeses and at the end. Just a few good quick stirs each time so it doesn&#8217;t mash the macaroni and get overly starchy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keeping mac and cheese warm: <\/strong>You can keep the macaroni and cheese set on the<em> warm<\/em> setting of the slow cooker for up to 30 minutes after cook time is complete. Keep it covered with a lid. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-65904\"
