Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese

Source: Dinner Then Dessert

Our Rating: 5/5

Mac and cheese is absolutely one of my favorite comfort foods, and I love to make it homemade. But sometimes it can be so labor intensive to get that mac and cheese casserole going, so I love that this recipe does all the work in the slow cooker while I can do other things!

I did adjust this recipe from the original to make it slightly more WW friendly. Here are the ingredients I used, otherwise followed the recipe as directed.

8 ounces elbow macaroni

1 cup 2% milk

1 12- ounce cans low-fat evaporated milk

2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, (diced)

1 cups cheddar cheese, (grated)

3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, (grated)

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon ground mustard

1/4 cup Country Crock/Margarine

With these changes the recipe comes out to 10 SP on the WW Green Plan.

So maybe it looks a little messy since it's all stirred around in there, but it's so tasty! Look at that cheese pull. *drools* This recipe comes out so well with so little effort. It's creamy, the pasta isn't mushy, and it has that good punch of cheese.
