This slow cooker macaroni and cheese recipe is so easy! It’s not fancy but it is flavorful. And I love that you know exactly what’s in it – as opposed to the boxed stuff. And I used my absolute favorite cheese, Tillamook!
This recipe is from Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook (Amazon) – a cookbook I bought in preparation for this Crock-tober series and I have really enjoyed the book!
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups skim or low-fat milk
One 15-ounce can evaporated skim milk
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
Large pinch of black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded medium or sharp cheddar cheese (I used my favorite, Tillamook cheese!)
8 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni (about 2 cups) – this is HALF the box
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
HOW TO PREPARE
1.) Coat your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. In a separate bowl combine low-fat and evaporated milks, egg, salt and papper in the cooker and whisk until smooth. Add the cheese and uncooked macaroni – stir it in softly.
2.) Pour mixture into slow cooker and cook on low for 3.5 to 4 hours. Mine was done in only about 2.5 hours! Watch it, you don’t want it to overcook. If you overcook it the sides will burn and dry out.
3.) Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Cereal! We go through a lot of cereal amd I don’t like to pay more than I have to.
The cheese!!
Took advantage of the cheese sale. My husband says, “Cheese makes everything better!!”
went in for the cheese, but left with a Christmas present too. What little girl wouldn’t want the Disney horse-drawn carriage for her dolls(that’s half off)?
I just made my shopping list while reading the FM ad last night. In addition to the great price on Tillamook Cheese (which we love), Freddy’s has a sale on B/S chicken breasts, coupon for milk and DariGold Butter, BOGO Salad stuff, and pineapple or pomegranates 2/$4.00! Yay–lots of bargains.
