Mac and cheese is a real treat. The "Grands" all love it and it makes a perfect side to serve for a crowd. I remember the time I made this elaborate mac and cheese for a family dinner. We all sat down to eat and none of the kids would eat it. I ended up fixing the microwave mac and cheese for them. Today's recipe is one they will eat. Delicious and easy it will be a comfort food you will fix often.
CREAMY CROCKPOT MACARONI AND CHEESE
2 1/2 c. elbow macaroni, uncooked
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 1/2 c. grated medium (or sharp) cheddar cheese
1/2 c. light sour cream
1 (10.75 oz.) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
1 c. skim milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
Par cook macaroni noodles by boiling for 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter with cheese. Stir until completely melted.
Spray the inside of a 4 qt. slow cooker, add sour cream, condensed cheddar cheese soup, milk, salt, pepper, and mustard. Add melted butter and cheese. Mix well.
Stir in cooked macaroni. Cook on low for 2-2 1/2 hours, stirring every 45 minutes(2 times) until the noodles are done and have soaked up a lot of the cheese sauce. Serve as is or as a side dish.
