  13. Can 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.

  16. How 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!

  17. This 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.

  21. Was 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.

  22. About 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?

    Reply

  24. I 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!

  26. I 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.

  27. I 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!

  28. I 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.

    • a 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. 🙂

    • Thank 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 🙂

  29. Wonderful blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News.
    Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed
    in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never
    seem to get there! Thank you

  32. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added”
    checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails
    with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people
    from that service? Bless you!

  33. Making 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

  35. I 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.

  36. I 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.

  37. Yes, 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?

  39. This 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!

  40. Delicious 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!

    Reply

  42. Didn’t like it. Made it for thanksgiving and have lots of leftovers. Wasn’t a hit & will most likely throw it away. Sad!

  44. Decided 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!!! 🙂

  45. first 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.

  48. I 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.

  49. You 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.

  50. This 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.

  51. Made 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.
