Helpful Tips to make Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese:

  • You can use a combo of any cheese you like, or if you only have one type on hand, use just one, just make sure you use same amount of cheese specified in the recipe.
  • The key to this mac and cheese is to make sure you remember to stir it a few times, otherwise the pasta may stick to the bottom or sides of the slow cooker and burn.
  • You can grate your own cheese, or you can buy grated/shredded cheese to save time.
  • If you want to add some protein to the dish, I like stirring in at the end grilled chicken or some cooked sausage.
  • You don’t need to pre-cook the pasta for this recipe. You can also use elbow, bow tie or small shells pasta.
  • For a spicier kick add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • The cheese sauce will thicken as it cools. If you plan to hold the mac and cheese in the slow cooker on warm, add extra milk as needed to keep the sauce nice and creamy. Also, if you are going to refrigerate it to eat later, add enough milk to the pasta to thin out the sauce before refrigerating. That way when you pull it out, it will scoop easily and the mac and cheese will warm up perfectly in the microwave or on the stove top. We do this every week and portion it out for easy lunches.

  • Slow Cooker - a lifesaver when you are looking to have dinner ready with minimum effort.
  • Cheese Grater- As much as I love buying shredded cheese because I'm lazy, fresh grated cheese melts down so much better and creates a smoother mac and cheese.
Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese

Slow Cooker Creamy Mac and Cheese is made with four cheeses and its so easy to make by adding all the ingredients to the crockpot.
prep time: 5 minscook time: 1 hour and 10 minstotal time: 1 hours and 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 pound cellentani pasta (also known as cavatappi), uncooked
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced into 1-tbsp pieces
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1-oz pieces
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fresh shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh Italian parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pour the uncooked pasta onto the bottom of your slow cooker. I love my 6-quart for this recipe. Scatter the butter and cream cheese pieces over the pasta. Sprinkle the salt, paprika and mustard over the top and pour the milk and cream into the slow cooker. Stir to combine everything and smooth the pasta into one even layer coated in sauce.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 1 to 2 hours, until the pasta is chewy (not quite crunchy, but very al dente). Your cook time will vary if you use a different pasta, so start with 1 hour and adjust from there.
  3. Stir once halfway through the cook time and be sure to smooth the pasta into one layer so it is well coated with the sauce.
  4. Once the pasta is ready, sprinkle on the cheddar, Gruyere and mozzarella cheeses and stir to combine. The cheese will melt into the sauce to create the most luxurious creamy cheese sauce. Cover the mac and cheese and cook for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and it comes together.
  5. Stir before serving and garnish with fresh parsley.

DONNA’S SIMPLE KITCHEN TIP:
