Next time, I will stir this right away and then now and then during cooking to prevent that from happening. Add all of the ingredients, except ½ cup of the grated cheese, to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Spray the liner of a slow cooker with cooking spray.

Plus instead of fussing around with a pot of boiling water to make the noodles on the stove this EASY Mac & Cheese is made without any fancy sauces or boiling the noodles on the stove. I scraped the stuck parts off and removed them. Boil pasta in salted water just until al dente (or even slightly undercooked), about 1 minute less than called for on the box. This Crock Pot No Boil Mac and Cheese is EVERYTHING.

Luckily it was not burned at all, which I know would have ruined the flavor of the whole thing. When I went to stir it at 2 1/4 hours, I was disappointed to find that the cheese that melted down into the noodles had become stuck to the crock pot (I had sprayed liberally with cooking spray) about three inches up around the entire edge at the bottom where the noodles sat and was very browned.

My ONLY issue was that I followed your instructions not to peek. Another thought is to put the mac 'n' cheese into smaller dishes. It's just a matter of giving anything in a crock pot on a buffet a stir every once in awhile. Just add an extra splash of milk to keep it from drying out. The cheesy flavor is perfect in my book! I know I’ll make it again and again. A crock pot should be fine for keeping the mac 'n' cheese warm.

I used 3 cups mexi-blend cheese and 1 cup mozzarella. We adapted this recipe from Gooseberry Patch’s 303 Simple & Satisfying Recipes. Wonderfully simple and delicious recipe! I’ve been striving for years to make home made macaroni and cheese like mom taught me with the flour/milk mixture and could never ever get the taste right! This recipe gives me the same incredible taste as mom’s with less than half the effort! So creamy and perfect with the addition of the cottage cheese.
