This recipe is easy to follow and makes a delicious mac and cheese. I used sharp cheddar cheese, and it gave the dish a nice sharp flavor. I also added some cooked bacon, which was a great addition. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. I can just throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner is ready when I get home from work. It's also really delicious, which is a bonus.
