It is SO easy, that if you can boil pasta, you can make it. So, today - I'm sharing with you Karleen's recipe for Crockpot Mac & Cheese. Karleen is delightfully gracious and wonderful - and she wrote back: "Sarah! Of course I'll share it. I asked her if she even remembered the recipe and if she still had it and if she'd share it with me and I secretly prayed that she was not one of those folks that is all "secret family recipe" and such and won't share their favorites and I'd be devastated that the only time I EVER got to eat this Mac & Cheese was when it sent me into an overindulgent coma for the entirety of our small group meeting and I had to be carried out by my husband all the while dragging the crockpot behind me by its cord. I have thought about this recipe many times over the years, and finally - a few weeks ago, I emailed Karleen. I CAMPED OUT BY THE MAC & CHEESE CROCKPOT AND DIDN'T MOVE UNTIL I COULDN'T STUFF ANY MORE OF IT INTO MY FACE!īecause I am very ladylike and so on and so forth. I put a little on my plate, walked through the line, sat down, and tasted it.Īnd, then did what ANY REASONABLE person who's ever had this dish will do: Many years ago (six to be exact), when we were still living in Maryland, my friend, Karleen brought a crockpot full of macaroni and cheese to our small group meeting.
I could use it in the summer more, but we do almost all of our meals on the grill in the summer and warm, heavy, comfort foods - which are what crockpots are known for - just aren't really on the menu.īut, come fall - I am all about my crockpot.
Serve with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped parsley.When fall arrives, I'm ready to dig out my crockpot. At this point, your Three Cheese Crock Pot Mac 'n' Cheese should be creamy, cheesy, and fully cooked. Make sure you're folding enough to break up any pocket of cheese or milk that may exist from the previous hour and a half of cooking. Fold and stir in the dry mustard, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. After 1½ hours, the cheese should be melted and the macaroni should be cooked. In the bowl of the slow cooker, combine the macaroni, cheeses, evaporated milk and skim milk.
