It’s cold.  STILL SO cold out and this is supposed to be spring!   So what could be better than a warm dinner at the end of the day?  How about an easy to make, foolproof recipe for Mac and Cheese that your family will LOVE? As we run from activity to activity I’ve had to develop some go to family favourites.  Our vote for a dinner that screams comfort and love and is sure to help get you through these dark cold nights;  Creamy Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese.   

Friends, meet the easiest, creamiest, most sinful mac and cheese you will ever eat.

Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese

Ingredients:

  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (or medium cheddar if you prefer)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (I used 1%)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
Boil the elbow macaroni in water for five to six minutes, drain and set aside. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese.  Heat over medium-high heat and stir until the cheese melts. Watch it carefully.  You want these ingredients to just melt, not cook!  Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Combine cheese mixture, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper in your slow cooker. Add the drained macaroni and stir again. Cook on low for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally (I cooked mine for about 2 hours, checked it three times and stirred it twice and it was perfect).

Stir, serve and enjoy!

Want to really wow them?  Crumble some cooked bacon on top.  YUM!
