Ever want a side of homemade mac and cheese with your dinner and just don’t have the time to make it? Well, this easy crock pot mac and cheese is simple enough to make from scratch. Basically, you just need the 4 hours for it to cook in the slow cooker and have the time to boil 8 oz of pasta.
All you do is add the cooked pasta to your crock pot with some cheese, butter, and milk. Then the crock pot does the rest of the work! So easy!
This recipe fits perfectly in the 3.5 qt oval of the new Crock-Pot® Hook Up™ Connectable Entertaining System.
It is the perfect amount to serve as a side and would be great for entertaining. If you want, it could serve 3-4 as a main dish or you can double it and cook it in a 6 qt crock pot for 6-8 as a main dish.
The new Crock-Pot® Hook Up™ Connectable Entertaining System is so fun for gatherings. In addition to the 3.5 qt oval size, they come in one 2 quart round and two 1 quarts ovals. They make entertaining easy. The units plug into each other to create the perfect table setting for any size party and includes a high, low, or warm setting. Since thy connect together, you only need one cord and one outlet to keep these babies running. I could totally see all the sides for Thanksgiving being served in these.
The removable stoneware and lids are all dishwasher safe.
The base of the connectables come in five colors – charcoal, copper, red, blue and green. Each unit retails for $39.99 – $49.99.
