A crock pot mac and cheese roundup: The BEST slow cooker mac and cheese recipes for those who share my addiction.

Crock pot mac and cheese roundup

Mac and cheese is definitely one of my desert island foods. I love all versions: Baked, stove-top, from a box, from a roux.

With Gruyere or cheddar or Monterey Jack. Elbow, penne, rotini pasta. In a mug. As a cupcake. Bread crumb topping. No topping. You name it, I’ll make it, order it, and eat it. So this crock pot mac and cheese roundup is a favorite.
