Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese

The kids were craving mac and cheese.  With it being soo hot, I did not feel like turning on the oven and heating up the house.  They are not too fond of stove top mac and cheese so I decided to make some in my crock pot.


The crock pot method makes delicious mac and cheese with very little clean up.  All of the ingredients are mixed together in your slow cooker.  Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 3 hours.  Before serving the mac and cheese stir the mixture and serve.  That's it.

Your family will enjoy this tasty cheesy dish.  Using a crock pot for summer cooking allows you to make family favorites without giving up taste.
