I make this all the time. Everyone raves about it. I use Barilla multi-grain macaroni, and it holds up better than standard macaroni in the slow-cooker. It has a higher fiber content and fills you up pretty fast.

I thought this was very good. I usually meke mac 'n' cheese in the oven with a fresh bread crrump topping and so thought I might be disappointed with this recipe but I was not. The texture was great, it came together very quickly and I love that it can be made in a slow cooker. Will be making again!!!

Picture doesn't do it justice (mean that in the nicest way! Was a hit with freshmen boys basketball team! Took a calculated risk, having never made it before, and served it as part of a meal we serve them after "away" games. They really liked it! TIP: Keep it on low, I turned it up to heat it back up quick after transporting and burnt a small part of it.

I was in a hurry so I baked this in the oven: 50 minutes at 350 degrees. It turned out great! I added some dry mustard powder, pepper, and some frozen broccoli. I left the butter out. I used 2 real eggs in place of the egg substitute. Very tasty!

This is a minority favorite in our house. My son LOVES it; no one else does! I guess I prefer my mac&cheese to feel "baked", this is just swimming in the cheese, more like a sauce cooked in a pan. Also I've never been a fan of Velveeta; I prefer the sharpness of the cheddar. But, I will make it again for him...maybe just not so much.

Made it with leftover Christmas ham - the family really enjoyed it. Love that I don't have to babysit it (slow cookers are great). Leftovers aren't dried out by th next day, and it freezes fairly well.

I don't understand the reason for cooking the Elbow's and then cooking it again in a Crock Pot. Makes no sense to me. I would rather just bake it!

There should be a 'not sure' circle. Don't omit the Velveeta!!!! I tried this recipe without it as I don't like 'veeta's sodium. It definitely didn't look right. Amazingly, my husband thought it tasted okay.

This is a great recipe and super easy. I also use one cup fat free shredded cheese and 1 cup 2%. I use the 2% velveta and light butter. I found the Smart Tast pasta has the lowest fat and calories. No one can even tell it is low fat!! My husbands friends all ask for this.
