Crock Pot Mac & Cheese - OAMC

"This is my kids favorite homemade version of mac and cheese. It does contain canned soup. If you're not a fan - don't try it! This freezes and reheats really well. I usually double this on a cooking day and it fills my 6 quart crock pot to the brim."

  1. 2/9/2008 I made this one before and it got rave reviews. I had nothing left to freeze. I doubled the recipe tonight and I wanted to review it before we eat. I am hoping that I will have some left over. I want to put some away for Fridays this lent. ***************6/20/2010 This is still a go-to favorite for us
     
  2. This was really good. DH thought it was too grainy from the extra sharp cheddar and I thought it could have been cooked a little less, but I'll definitely keep this on hand and try it with a couple of alterations (different cheeses, etc.).
     
  3. Made this for Thanksgiving at the neighbors' house and it seemed to go over well. We really liked it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because we felt it could use more seasoning in the form of salt and pepper and maybe a pinch of cayenne to kick it up a notch. Either way this has a place in my recipe book and the remainder will be headed for the freezer this weekend. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  4. When I made this the only thing I did different was subsitute 8oz velveta for the extra sharp cheddar , put half in the freezer in individual dishes for later. Kids and husband loved it and they are very picky mac and cheese eaters.
     
  5. I made this as suggested in the recipe. The texture and consistency were good. A little bland for my liking but something some bacon wont fix. I most certainly will be making it again with a few alterations. Thanks Jill. UPDATE Dont forget to spray the crotch pot with non stick, I did, and you can bet I wont forget again lol
