Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese

Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese is simple to put together and is a creamy, comfort food for weeknight dinners or potlucks. This is a super budget friendly recipe. It comes together quickly and can easily be scaled up, which makes it perfect for holidays and also feeding a crowd! This is one of my absolute favorite recipes. Mac and Cheese has been the long standing favorite food of mine. It was my favorite as a kid and it is my favorite still as an adult. But my tastes have certainly graduated from the boxed mix. In fact, I can no longer stand macaroni and cheese from a box.

I love it so much that this super creamy mac and cheese is made completely in the slow cooker. No precooking of the noodles or making a roux. Seriously so very easy! It would make the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving! Also, makes a great dinner when you don’t have a lot of time to prep. I’m telling you, this creamy slow cooker mac and cheese is so very delicious!

Serve this mac & cheese with Chicken Tenders, some spicy Buffalo Chicken Meatballs or Honey Mustard Chicken Fingers.
