Southern-style Crock Pot Mac and Cheese
Anytime I can use a slow cooker to cook a meal or side dish I do it. Using the slow cooker or Crock-Pot just makes life easy. I love recipes where I can just throw the ingredients together, set a time, and forget about it. This Southern-Style Crock Pot Mac And Cheese is no different.
Many times mac n cheese only shows up around the holidays, like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. But in the South, in our area, this dish shows up at many Sunday meals, church dinners, or get-togethers. It is so creamy and delicious that it is always a big hit. This has to be one of my favorite side dishes and It is the perfect comfort food.
If you go to a restaurant in the South, you will learn that Mac and Cheese is considered a vegetable on most menus (although we both know it really isn't). Us Southerners will find a way to make you think a dish is healthy when it really isn't (haha). Either way, this recipe will soon become a family favorite, and to top it off, it is such an easy recipe to make.
Ingredients For Southern-Style Crock Pot Mac and Cheese
Macaroni
Most mac and cheese recipe call for elbow macaroni. Normally I use that as well but I want to offer up a tip here. An alternative macaroni that I like to use is Corkscrew Macaroni also called Cavatappi by some brands. The reason I love corkscrew macaroni is it has ridges. This really helps to hold the cheese onto the noodles. To me, it makes a superior creamy mac! You will need 8 oz of macaroni noodles
Cheese
My recipe calls for 3 cups of sharp cheddar cheese. Make sure to buy block cheese and then shred it yourself. If you buy shredded cheddar cheese, it is coated with an anti-caking agent to keep the cheese from sticking in the bag. This could lead to a gritty texture though. Freshly grated cheese works best.
Pro Tip: if you do not like sharp cheddar, you could use mild cheddar. Also, you could use Velveeta cheese but I would prefer to use American Cheese over Velveeta Cheese. You could combine cream cheese with any of these cheeses to make this mac and cheese extra creamy, or use a cup of sour cream as well for an extra creamy texture. Parmesan cheese also is great in mac and cheese. You can use this recipe as a starting point and play around with other ingredients as you go.
Evaporated Milk
You will need 1 can of evaporated milk.
Whole Milk or Regular Milk
You will need 1 1/2 cups of whole milk
Salt
I prefer to use sea salt or kosher salt in all of my recipes. If you use iodized salt (table salt) if can give an off taste. You will need 1 teaspoon salt.
Black Pepper
You will need 1 teaspoon of black pepper
Sugar
1 teaspoon of sugar
Butter
1/4 cup of butter
Other Ingredients: Some people will add in a little dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, or a little bit of cayenne pepper. I am giving you the basic recipe, you can experiment with these other ingredients if you wish.
Step by Step how to Make Southern-Style Croc Pot Mac and Cheese
Step 1: Start by getting a large pot and filling it with cold water. Put the uncooked pasta in the pot and cook or boil noodles until the pasta until it is al dente, or almost done. The pasta should have a bite to it.
Step 2: After you have cooked the noodles and drained them, pour the cooked macaroni into a well-greased crock pot. I typically use butter to grease the crockpot but you could also use a nonstick cooking spray if you wish.
Step 3: Stir in melted butter. Next stir in black pepper, salt, and sugar. Make sure those ingredients are mixed well together.
Step 4: Stir in evaporated milk and whole milk.
Step 5: Add two cups of cheese and mix it well. Add the remaining cheese on top.
Step 6: Cook on low for 3 1/2 hours.
