My kids LOVE macaroni and cheese. I don’t mind making it, but would rather make it myself so I know what is in it! This slow cooker macaroni and cheese recipe is oh so good – and easy!
I adapted this recipe from one I found that Paula Deen created. I modified it a little for my family as we like a creamier variety rather than one that is a bit stickier when finished.
If you want to change this up a bit, you can add some crumbled bacon and try different varieties of cheeses. We love to pair ours with our Oven Baked Brisket or Sour Cream and Onion Chicken to make a perfect dinner!
