This Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese Recipe is just so good and it made a ton! It is really great for a crowd or for a potluck. I absolutely love slow cooker recipes because they free up so much of my time. I just pop everything into the slow cooker in the morning and by dinner time, it’s all set! This is perfect for those days when I am having friends or a date over for dinner and don’t feel like spending a ton of time preparing for a meal…especially now that my dishwasher is not functional with my new kitchen faucet. Yeah, I will tell you all about that another day, once I get it fixed! Washing dishes by hand? Slow cooker recipes are perfect for that because there aren’t as many dishes!

Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese Recipe

Say Cheese! This slow cooker Mac and cheese is the ULTIMATE comfort food. I have always been a huge fan of cheese, like put it on everything! Some of my friends even call me “Cheesehead” and say was actually born in Wisconsin…I promise I wasn’t. This recipe here uses two kinds of cheese Mozzarella and Cheddar cheese, making it extra cheesy! I spent less than $10 to make this recipe and guess what? It serves SIXTEEN people. Yes, 16 servings! Not only is it a bargain to make, but you can just go about your activities while it cooks. Think of the slow cooker as a babysitter, it is basically watching your food for you!

I made this dish as part of a graduation party for my friend’s children. seems she invited the entire world, so I knew I had to step up my game and ensure there was a large enough portion to feed alot of kids. We all know kids LOVE Mac and Cheese. As I got ready for the party, and did a few things around the house I realized time had passed so quickly…and voila! The Mac and cheese was ready!

After arriving at the party I made sure to be the first one to get a portion before the kids got to it ( they were like vultures). Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! It tuned out to be so creamy and flavorful! The bacon really gave this recipe the smoky flavor and accentuated the flavor of the cheeses. Bacon has become very popular in recent years, I noticed many dishes are being made with bacon. I used to cook bacon fresh for every meal, but stores carry bacon already pre-cooked and packaged, this is a real time saver!

As I watched the little vultures (the children) devour their Mac and Cheese, I felt a sense of happiness and appreciation. Nothing makes me happier than to see guests really enjoy the meal I have prepared for them. I heard little voices saying “Mmmm” and then the inevitable question “Can we have more”? Many of the parents asked me for this recipe. Alot of parents were telling me how their child loves homemade Mac and Cheese much more than the boxed mac and cheese. I gotta say, I cannot blame them one bit. There is nothing better than homemade mac and cheese. It isn’t a whole bunch of processed chemicals for one!

All in all, this is a recipe for all to enjoy. The ingredients are simple, I spent very little making it, and remember the crock pot is a woman’s best friend. I hope you all enjoy this as much as we did and please feel free to share this recipe with others.
