PAULA DEEN CROCK POT MACARONI AND CHEESE
I saw Paula Deen make this recipe on her Food Network program. I was looking for a really creamy macaroni and cheese recipe, and this is it! I changed it a bit by omitting the eggs (the original recipe calls for three) and boiling the macaroni for six minutes instead of seven, so it doesn't get mushy while cooking in the Crockpot. I also shortened the cooking time from three to two and a half hours. Perfection!

Steps:
- Boil the macaroni in water for six minutes. Drain.
- In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.
- In slow cooker, combine cheese mixture and add the eggs (I omitted the eggs), sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper. Add the drained macaroni and stir again.
- Cook on low for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
CROCK POT (SLOW COOKER) MACARONI AND CHEESE (OAMC)
Well, I modified Recipe #73916 enough that I figured I would post my version! And, as I can't make any small batches in the crock pot, this is OAMC. For a smaller crock pot, or for non-OAMC, this recipe can be cut in half. Enjoy! Note: Servings are main-dish dinner sized portions.

Steps:
- Whisk flour with 1 cup of milk until smooth.
- Mix everything in (very large) crock pot.
- Cook 3 to 4 hours on low, or until sauce comes together and pasta is tender. Stir every 30 to 60 minutes, if possible.
- Freeze leftovers in 2 serving portions.
- Reheat in microwave safe dish on defrost for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. At this time, the mac and cheese should be mostly defrosted. Defrost for another 10 minutes or so, stirring every 2.5 minutes or until hot. (I have found this is the best way to reheat frozen mac and cheese with no seperation of the sauce.).

CREAMY CROCK POT MACARONI AND CHEESE
An easy, creamy mac and cheese recipe for the crock pot. No need to precook the noodles. Edited to add: I make this at least once a month without any burning or sticky mess. I know all Crock pots are different, because I have one that is "hotter" than the other. Perhaps a "hotter" crock pot is not suitable for this recipe.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your macaroni and cheese. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
- Don't overcook the macaroni: The macaroni should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and the dish will not be as good.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the macaroni and cheese evenly. If it is too thin, the dish will be watery and runny.
- Add some extra flavor: You can add some extra flavor to your macaroni and cheese by adding some spices, herbs, or vegetables. Some popular additions include garlic, onion, paprika, parsley, and broccoli.
- Top it with something crunchy: A crunchy topping, such as bread crumbs or crushed potato chips, will add some extra texture and flavor to your macaroni and cheese.
