In reply to Lanna. I'm sorry this happened! I've updated the recipe to reduce time to check clear down to 45 minutes as some slow cookers must cook very high and it can make a difference based on pasta brand as those that are thinner will cook faster.

The pasta in this recipe completely melted into a thick paste in the slow cooker. It was totally inedible and a waste of good cheese and time. I used the lowest setting and the shortest recommended time, and this slow cooker serves me well for many other dishes. Just make a better recipe on the stovetop. It will be faster and easier and produce a better meal than this trash.

Friend brought this to a gathering I really enjoyed it and asked for the recipe. I made it today and liked it ever better.

My mom made crockpot Mac and cheese at least once a month all year and 3-4 times during lent and it was wonderful. She used Colby cheese which is one of the cheeses I will use along with “Mod cheese” (an American cheese given out by the state of MN) like Velveeta but much better. I wonder if rinsing the noodles before adding to the crockpot would help with the noodle issue because rinsing noodles (or rice) removes the starch which in return would remove the paste left behind by the the starch surrounding the noodles.

In reply to Maureen Hutchinson. I did try this, and like another respondant said, it maybe wasn't as good as regular mac and cheese. Not sure why. (well actually i had no evaporated milk, so used more heavy cream and some milk, so maybe that changed it too much) But it really was super easy and if that's what you are looking for, this was quite tasty.

I did make this on Thanksgiving but it wasn’t as good as regular Mac N cheese that you either bake or make on stovetop. It was just ok and it was eaten but in the future I will not make it in the crockpot … everyone seems to be obsessed with making things in the crockpot but some things are better made in another fashion.

In reply to Kelsey. I’m sorry to hear that! Does your slow cooker normally cook quite hot?

This recipie was not good. It turned the pasta to paste. I followed the recipie and was exact on my times. The flavor was good, the pasta was not. This recipie is a no from me.
