I think I can safely say everyone loves mac and cheese! Most of us grew up on it (a lot of it coming out of a blue box). But there is nothing better than homemade macaroni and cheese. It’s the ultimate comfort food. What can make it even better? Slow cooker mac and cheese!
Once I make the cheese sauce (or roux) from scratch, I throw all the ingredients into the crockpot and let it do its magic for 4 hours on low (or 2 hours on high if you’re short on time).
You can increase the cheese sauce or even add some softer cheeses to the slow cooker if you prefer a creamier mac and cheese.
Crockpot macaroni and cheese is always a winner in my house! Eat it for lunch or dinner, as a main dish or as a side dish!
