CROCK POT (SLOW COOKER) MACARONI AND CHEESE (OAMC)



Crock Pot (Slow Cooker) Macaroni and Cheese (Oamc) image

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.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 3h40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs uncooked small pasta noodles, should have a cooking time around 13 minutes
2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
6 cups milk
1/2 cup flour
4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
16 ounces Velveeta cheese, diced
1 cup parmesan cheese
8 tablespoons salted butter, cut up
1 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

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.).

SLOW-COOKER MACARONI AND CHEESE



Slow-Cooker Macaroni and Cheese image

This recipe is old-fashioned mac and cheese, without a heavy white sauce to make first. The combination of evaporated milk and egg replaces the flour as the thickener; canned milk does not curdle as fresh milk-based sauces sometimes do. Please note that the pasta goes into the cooker uncooked.

Categories     Slow Cooker     Pasta     Macaroni and Cheese     Cheese     Cheddar     Kid-Friendly     Dinner     Small Plates

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups skim or low-fat milk
1 (15-ounce) can evaporated skim milk
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
Large pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded medium or sharp cheddar cheese, such as Oregon Tillamook, Vermont Colby, or Wisconsin longhorn
8 ounces elbow macaroni (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons freshly grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Coat a 3- to 4 1/2-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the low-fat and evaporated milks, egg, salt, and pepper in the cooker and whisk until smooth. Add the cheese and macaroni; gently stir with a rubber spatula to coat evenly with the milk and cheese mixture. Sprinkle the Parmesan on the top.
  • Cover and cook on low until the custard is set in the center and the pasta is tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Do not cook more than 4 hours, as the sides will dry out and burn.
  • Variations:
  • Macaroni and Italian Cheese: For the cheddar, substitute a combination of 1 cup of shredded fontina (4 ounces) and 1/2 cup of diced or shredded mozzarella (2 ounces).
  • Macaroni and Swiss Cheese: Substitute an equal amount of shredded Gruyère or Emmenthaler cheese for the cheddar.
  • Macaroni and Blue Cheese: Add 1/2 cup of crumbled Gorgonzola (2 ounces), Stilton, Roquefort, or American blue cheese to the cheddar and macaroni.
