Slow Cooker Macaroni And Cheese Recipes

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.
• Whisk milk and Cheddar cheese soup together in a bowl until smooth; stir into pasta mixture. Sprinkle remaining cheese over pasta mixture; garnish with paprika.
• Cook on Low for 3 hours.

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:

• 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:

• Boil the uncooked macaroni in a large pot. Be sure to use plenty of water (use your best judgement), and boil until tender (about 8 minutes).
• In your slow cooker, melt the butter on high.
• Once butter is melted, add cheddar cheese and cream cheese. Allow both cheeses to melt a bit.
• Add milk and sour cream.
• Turn the temperature down to "low.".
• Allow to cook for about 2 hours, stirring frequently. As long as it's warm and the cheese is melted, though, feel free to eat it!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Spray slow cooker lightly with cooking spray.
• 2. In large bowl, combine cheeses and set aside.
• 3. In another large bowl, whisk eggs lightly. Add evaporated milk, milk, dry mustard, cayenne, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
• 4. Add 3 cups of cheese mixture and uncooked macaroni noodles to egg mixture. Stir to combine.
• 5. Pour into slow cooker. Top with remaining cheese.
• 6. Sprinkle with paprika.
• 7. Cook on LOW for 4 hours.

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.
