This is such a delicious recipe and has endless possiblities for playing with considering all the different cheeses out there. Go ahead and experiment and give it your own twist but I gaurantee u will never ever want to use a boxed mac and cheese again. Kraft dont have nothing over this. Everyone loves this whenever I make it does not last long at all.

How To Make easy crock pot mac & cheese

  • Step 1
    Take 3 cups of your fav cooked pasta and put into slow cooker and toss with the olive oil. Then add remaining ingredients.
  • Step 2
    Turn slow cooker to low and cook 6 to 8 hours or on high and cook 3 to 4 hours and then enjoy. Use judgement with your slow cooker as they are all a bit different. I didnt cook mine for the full 4 hours and it still came out to die for. I also made this in a pot on top of the stove and cooked on a very low heat and it turned out just fine too.
  • Step 3
    If u make this and enjoy as much as my friends and I do please drop me a line and let me know how u liked it.
