Ready for the Best Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese recipe? This slow cooker macaroni and cheese recipe is the creamiest, cheesiest recipe you'll find! This recipe is easily doubled to feed a crowd, AND it's budget-friendly. The perfect party-ready mac and cheese!

I have many macaroni and cheese recipes uploaded already. I have everything from southern baked macaroni and cheese, to soul food macaroni and cheese, to bacon mac and cheese. I guess it’s pretty clear that mac n cheese is one of my favorite foods. I could even eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! LOL. This time around, I have an easy mac and cheese recipe. I’m going to show you how to make macaroni and cheese in the Crock-Pot/slow cooker. I use regular elbow macaroni pasta for my mac & cheese. I use Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese condensed soup and basic cheeses such as sharp cheddar and Colby cheese for this mac and cheese recipe. I pretty much put everything in the Crock-Pot and let it cook on low for 3 hours. The outcome is amazing! It’s the perfect recipe for homemade macaroni and cheese. Give it a try, and impress your loved ones with your chef skills!

Thank-you for the video.. My late wife passed a couple years ago and now I'm starting to really cook for my kiddies.

I owe you too many thank yous Rosie!! A few years ago I really wanted to impress my boyfriend with some soul food, but my family never cooked with recipes and I didn't really know to make things from scratch on my own. Your videos guided me to make some pretty bomb dinners! My boyfriend is now my husband and I owe that to you!!! *many hugs and kisses* for sharing your gifts with us!

[art_see_shan]

Listen this recipe is the truth !!!!
Especially if your multitasking for big meals !
I think the slow cooker don’t get the love it deserves!!!

I made this for Thanksgiving, and it was a big hit! Thank you! I did a 2nd step by pouring this into a baking dish, topped with a little more shredded cheese on top and browning it lightly on top in the oven. Some of the best mac and cheese I have ever had.

Hunny I'm pregnant with a boy and my boyfriend loves to eat. And because of you and Laura in the kitchen my boys will never starve. Never was good with coming up with my own recipes

I tried this receipe today at my job's Thanksgiving potluck and it was a huge hit! My crockpot was clean by the end of the day. Thanks for sharing!

[reddrobyns]

My coworker made this at 2 of our potlucks & it was sooo good 👍

I would have never thought about the Campbell's cheddar cheese. I tried it the other day and it came out so creamy and Great idea for the crock pot

[Mavid]

My crockpot DIED right before Easter and everyone was so ready for your unbelievable mac n cheese. I used your recipe but boiled the pasta first in the Copper Chef, added all of the ingredients and let it cook down and it was done in one hour. Still awesome!! So glad I could still improvise!

[thiqlykepoundcake]

It has been YEARS and i still kill the potluck and school gatherings with your recipe. Thank you so much!!

I'm just getting home from our 2019 family gathering for Thanksgiving. We were asked to bring our yummy macaroni and cheese. We didn't have the time or patience to make our "usual" batch, due to having a new baby in the house. I quickly got on YouTube to see if I could find a decent crockpot recipe. This was one of the first results and we decided to give it a try. We've never made mac and cheese in a slow cooker and were a little nervous. I am proud to say that this recipe is absolutely fantastic. I'm a large American, and I've wrapped my lips around some mac and cheese in my time. This is one of the better recipes I've ever had. Thanks for sharing, and you are now a part of our future family Thanksgiving's. I think that's a pretty big deal!

I just made this as a side dish for our Christmas dinner and it was a hit! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

My mouth is watering as I watch this. Now I understand why my dog drools when I am about to give him a treat he likes. LOL!

[themobileboatguys]

My favorite recipe. I’ve made it for Christmas and Thanksgiving on a few occasions now. I’m not the best cook but now I have people asking me to make macaroni. Thank you!

[glw]

Rosie I had never ever heard of adding smoke paprika to mac and cheese but it really elevates the flavor. It really kicks it up a notch and I add it regularly now. Thanks for that tip and for all of your wonderful recipes.

[BeauTAUfulDahlFayce]

My most favorite food in the world!!!!  I am literally sitting here drooling over this mac and cheese!!!  TFS!!!
