August 8, 2013 at 8:03 pmHow, in a crockpot, does this only cook for an hour? Do you cook it on high or low?

Deanna says
November 14, 2013 at 5:34 pmWas really good I added cream cheese though and used two cans of Cheddar Cheese soup, so easy to make!!
Liz says
November 18, 2013 at 1:41 pmCan you cook it for an hour and then transport it and then finish it when you get to where your going? I have a potluck to go to and three hours in between leaving my house and getting there and trying to see if I can break the steps up without ruining the dish.
Tara says
November 19, 2013 at 11:54 amMy cousin made this and it was delicious!!!! It was super easy to make! She has a 1yr old and a 6 month old so she tries to find easy but delicious meals for her family. We where visiting them and she made this so know we are making this for Thanksgiving and possibly Christmas!!! Try this! You wont be disappointed! Enjoy!
Chelsea says
November 19, 2013 at 4:09 pmI’m a idiot, I was in a hurry and added the milk to it with the rest of the ingredients instead of after an hour…I hope it comes out good still lol
Nicole says
November 26, 2013 at 9:19 pmHow strong is the sour cream flavor? I don’t care for sour cream but love how simple this recipe is…btw, everyone else loves sour cream I’m just curious. Thanks!
Leslie L Stanziani says
December 18, 2013 at 11:09 pmThis mac and cheese is amazing! I made it for Thanksgiving and will be making it again for Christmas.I do not think I will ever buy the boxed stuff again.

December 19, 2013 at 4:57 pmHow much does this make need to know if I need to double the recipe
Julia says
December 23, 2013 at 2:14 pmWhat size crock pot did you use?
Greg says
December 25, 2013 at 8:13 amGreat dish. Need salt and pepper—trying to figure out how much?
CC says
December 29, 2013 at 12:02 pmWas not a huge fan of this. I’ve had better. Tasted like there was something missing even after adding salt and pepper. I won’t make it again.
Talisa says
December 30, 2013 at 2:47 pmAbout how many servings does this make? I am looking to make some for my co-workers but I need to make a lot double or even triple the recipe?
Kim Gillard says
January 4, 2014 at 11:59 amWhat size crock pot?
Camille says
January 24, 2014 at 10:37 amI am making this for the 2nd time now. My kids and I really enjoy this recipe. I added some ranch seasoning to give it a little extra kick of spices to it, and it was delish! 🙂 I might try baking it after its all done with some bread crumbs on top or some crushed up fried onions. The possibilities are endless. 🙂 Thanks for the great recipe!
Joanna says
February 4, 2014 at 10:07 pmHas anyone else skipped the sour cream?
Sarah says
March 1, 2014 at 11:25 amI have this in the crockpot. It is a bit gritty, but that might be because I put the crock pot on high… I must have missed the low part… Hopefully it still tastes okay! I’ll update.
Shana says
April 14, 2014 at 3:29 pmI just made this today. It is Really easy and Really yummy! I added a few shakes of pepper and a few shakes of garlic salt also!

May 9, 2014 at 8:57 pmI made this tonight. A few notes:
1. It made a ton. My 3 quart crock pot was full to the brim. Somewhere in the comments it was stated that this makes 4-6 servings. I’d agree with this IF you are having mac and cheese as your main dish. For a side dish this makes at least 8-10 servings.
2. Someone had asked about the sour cream flavor; from what I can tell the sour cream adds to the creamy texture but doesn’t give a strong sour flavor to the dish. It did seem like an overwhelming amount of sour cream when it was first mixed in with the cheese and cheese sauce, but it worked out okay in the end.
3. It wasn’t tasting cheesey enough for me, so when I added the milk at the 1 hour mark I also added another 2 cups of shredded cheese. This helped a lot.
4. As for crockpot size, I have a 3 quart pot and it was very full when I put the pasta, sour cream, cheese sauce and cheese in. I did manage to add another 2 cups of cheese and the milk at the hour mark and it all still fit for me. It’s a bit hard to stir in a 3 quart pot, but it’s not impossible.
5. Overall, I thought it was a good, easy, and creamy mac and cheese. Especially if you have picky eaters that may not be into extra spices and flavors. But I do agree with the comment that something seemed to be missing. But since this is my first homemade mac and cheese I can’t venture a guess as to what that might be.
Carla says
July 26, 2016 at 10:34 ama little dry mustard powder is a great thing to add to cheese recipes. I make a mac & cheese very similar to this, and it just adds that something to the flavor. You can’t tell it’s mustard, but it tweaks the cheese flavor. 🙂
Angie says
November 22, 2017 at 12:23 pmThank you for all the infor in your comment because I was wondering how it worked out so now I feel more confident trying it for myself 🙂

August 3, 2014 at 7:00 pmMaking this tonight and added hot links to it there at the end when there was about 15 min left! Think I may need to add more cheese thigh next time
jamie says
August 6, 2014 at 3:11 pmIf I’m doubling the recipe should I double the cooking time?
Lauriann says
August 21, 2014 at 10:13 amI want to make this for a pot luck I am going to on Saturday. I JUST bot the new crock pot that has the rectangular 9 x 13 removable stoneware. DO you think I can make this in the oven? If so would I follow the same directions.
Marcy says
September 16, 2014 at 1:39 pmI was really skeptical about this recipe because I am very picky about my macaroni and cheese. I normally make mine from a roux and use three kinds of cheeses. It’s a time consuming recipe which is why this recipe caught my eye. My family loved this, and it is a very acceptable replacement for my baked mac and cheese when I am short on time. I use skim milk and it comes out just fine. I add a little salt, pepper and cayenne- just a personal preference.
Anonymous says
September 19, 2014 at 8:46 pmYes, just saw the question about extended cooking time for multiplying the recipe. I want to cook this for 30-40 people …. so if I double/triple the recipe (and use several crockpots … of course I won’t be able to fit all these servings in one crockpot) what does it do to the cooking time? Anyone tried it?

October 19, 2014 at 3:33 pmThis was so easy and so good! We had it for supper tonight — but this would be so easy to bring for a pot luck dish somewhere too!
Kristin says
October 23, 2014 at 8:19 pmDelicious recipe! Thanks for sharing! I “lightened” it up using veggie pasta and fat free versions of dairy products and it was still cheesy creamy goodness!
Amanda says
October 31, 2014 at 8:11 amGoing to make this tonight for a quick and easy supper tonight for my little trick and treaters!
Meg says
November 30, 2014 at 8:03 pmDidn’t like it. Made it for thanksgiving and have lots of leftovers. Wasn’t a hit & will most likely throw it away. Sad!
markita munson says
December 29, 2014 at 1:49 pmCan I add ham to this recipe?
Magen says
May 17, 2015 at 6:25 amDecided to make this for a church lunch and tried it out at home first and the kids loved it!!! Took it to church the next week and by the time we got up there it was gone my son was devastated!!! He cried for a good half hour!! We are having another lunch today….I doubled the recipe this time!!! 🙂
Carol k says
August 21, 2015 at 4:24 pmfirst I only ever use fat free Greek yogurt in place of sour cream, and I use low fat milk as well. I will half the recipe and see how that works. BUT….. You say 2cups of shredded cheese but never say when and when to add it. Did I miss that. Planning on making it tonight.
Thanks.
Carol kuffner says
August 21, 2015 at 4:27 pmfirst I only use fat free Greek yogurt, never sour cream. And I use skim or 1% milk.
Plan on making this tonight but I will half the recipe. BUT….. When do you add the 2 cups shredded cheese I can’t see that anywhere
Thanks

Julie says
October 10, 2015 at 2:31 amI was looking forward to trying this recipe but I did not enjoy it at all. I found it very bland and ordinary. I am a bit puzzled by all those raving reviews.
Angie says
August 27, 2016 at 1:05 pmYou can also make crock pot Mac and cheese like this. Put box macaroni in crock pot ( uncooked) 1 8 oz block cream cheese, 2 cups milk, 1 can evaporated milk, shredded cheddar cheese. Cook 2 hours on high. Stir. Add extra milk if needed. Cook 30 min longer. Turns out great. Very creamy.
Stepanie says
October 22, 2017 at 9:20 amThis recipe is a staple in my house since 2013 when I found it. I have made this often by the recipe and with additions and substitutions. Works and impresses EVERY TIME. Thank you sincerely for this post.
Sharon says
November 13, 2017 at 9:59 amMade this over the weekend, it was easy and tasty. I think I’d do more cheese and heavy cream next time to make it creamier…also salt…it needed a bit of salt after it was done.
