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.).
