Slow Cooker Mac Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker; add butter. In a large bowl, mix 3 cups cheese, evaporated milk, condensed soup, 2% milk and eggs. Pour over macaroni mixture; stir to combine. Cook, covered, on low for 3-1/2 to 4 hours or until a thermometer reads at least 160°., Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cook, covered, on low until cheese is melted, 15-20 minutes longer. Sprinkle with paprika.

Steps:

• In a large 4-quart slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray, mix the macaroni, evaporated milk, milk, butter, salt, pepper, eggs and all but 1/2 cup of the grated cheese. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top of the mixture and then sprinkle with paprika. Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours and 15 minutes. Turn off the slow cooker, stir the mixture and serve hot.

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over the pasta and drain, then put everything in a slow cooker and stir well. Season, cover and cook on low for 1 hr. Stir again, put the lid back on and cook for another 30 mins until the pasta is cooked and the sauce has reduced enough to coat the macaroni.
• Leave the lid off and reduce for the last 10 mins if you need to, or add a splash more milk - this will depend on the size of your slow cooker and the brand. Serve with extra cheese.

Steps:

• Spray 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, beat milks, melted butter, mustard, salt and peppers with whisk. Add macaroni and 3 1/2 cups of the Cheddar cheese, the cubed cheese and Parmesan cheese. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 1 hour. Stir well. Cover; cook 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until pasta is cooked, but not mushy.
• Stir until mac and cheese is combined and creamy. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese on top. Cover; let stand about 15 minutes or until melted.
• Meanwhile, in 8-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add bread crumbs; stir to coat. Cook and stir about 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Sprinkle over mac and cheese, and serve.

Steps:

• Boil the macaroni in a 2 quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain.
• In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.
• In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mixture and add the eggs, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and transfer pasta to slow cooker.
• Add butter to pasta and stir until melted; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle about 1/2 the Cheddar cheese over pasta and stir.
• Whisk evaporated milk and eggs together in a bowl until smooth; stir into pasta mixture.

Steps:

• Generously spray the inside of the slow cooker with Pam (or coat with oil).
• Whisk together all ingredients except the cheese and macaroni.
• Pour mixture into slow cooker, and stir in macaroni and shredded cheese.
• Cover and cook on LOW, stirring once to break up macaroni clumps.
• Check at 2 hours to determine if more time will be needed.
• If needed, stir, and continue to cook for another 1-2 hours.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in boiling water 3 minutes short of being al dente (I usually do 5 minutes).
• Place the cooked macaroni and the rest of the ingredients in the slow cooker and stir.
• Set heat to Low and cook for 2 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally and check for doneness starting at the 2-hour mark.

Steps:

• Coat a 3- to 4 1/2-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the low-fat and evaporated milks, egg, salt, and pepper in the cooker and whisk until smooth. Add the cheese and macaroni; gently stir with a rubber spatula to coat evenly with the milk and cheese mixture. Sprinkle the Parmesan on the top.
• Cover and cook on low until the custard is set in the center and the pasta is tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Do not cook more than 4 hours, as the sides will dry out and burn.
• Variations:
• Macaroni and Italian Cheese: For the cheddar, substitute a combination of 1 cup of shredded fontina (4 ounces) and 1/2 cup of diced or shredded mozzarella (2 ounces).
• Macaroni and Swiss Cheese: Substitute an equal amount of shredded Gruyère or Emmenthaler cheese for the cheddar.
• Macaroni and Blue Cheese: Add 1/2 cup of crumbled Gorgonzola (2 ounces), Stilton, Roquefort, or American blue cheese to the cheddar and macaroni.

Steps:

• Cook macaroni on the stove top per package directions.
• Meanwhile, dissolve the powdered milk in the fluid milk (this will be easier if the milk is warm - but it's not necessary - it's OK if a small amount of powdered milk is not completely dissolved).
• Combine the milk mixture with the cheese soup and grated cheese in the crock pot. When the macaroni is done, drain and add it to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
• Cook on low setting for 2 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• Cook macaroni according to package directions for al dente. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine soup, milk, sour cream, butter and seasonings; cook and stir over medium-low heat until blended.

• Turn slow cooker off. Stir macaroni and cheese; let stand, covered, 15 min. before serving.

Steps:

• Mince or puree large onion.
• Boil noodles in water or in chicken broth (adds more flavor). Add a dash of salt and the minced or pureed onion.
• Slightly beat together egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• Melt butter (about 40 sec in the microwave) and then stir so all the solid is mixed well.
• Mix the butter and Evaporated Milk into the bowl with the egg and milk mixture.

• Cook on High for 90 minutes and then stir together to blend the melted cheese. Then another 90 minutes on High or 3 hrs on Low. Do not remove lid until the first 90 minutes has passed so that the mixture sets correctly.
• Stir well before serving.
