This classic casserole is rich and cheesy meatless main dish. I've never met anyone who didn't ask for second helpings of the cheesy dish.—Bernice Glascoe, Roxboro, North Carolina

My family really enjoyed this. It was creamy and tasty. Being able to make it in the slow cooker is a major bonus!

I will under cook noodles next time and add a little dijon mustard and hot sauce. Very Happy to have a slow cooker mac and cheese recipe!

Did not turn out creamy as I thought it would according to the picture. Still a good recipe because it is easy and tastes good. I will make some modifications next time.

I slightly undercook my noodles, and I never cook this finished dish for the full 4 hours as it will overcook. I use butter, not margarine, and I also include sharp cheddar along with the regular cheddar. -Lori in WI.

I made this this morning for lunch, the cheese was clumpy not creamy as I was expecting. It was a bit greasy also.

I've been making this recipe for mac and cheese for years and we love it! I love making it in the slow cooker..perfect for church lunches and get togethers. I don't care for mac and cheese that's baked and so I looked and looked for a recipe that was more creamy than hard and crunchy. This is it! My son has Celiac's disease, so we don't use the cheese soup anymore, I substitute with a cheese/cream sauce I make instead and it still comes out great. Delicious!

Loved it, but I added 1/8 teaspoon each nutmeg and chili powder and a dash of hot sauce. Couldn't taste the individual spices but it gave the cheese more flavor! Try it!

I have been searching for the "perfect" macaroni and cheese recipe and this one fits the bill!!! My family and friends loved it and asked me to make it again. I love that it so easy to put together and that it cooks in the slow-cooker.

I have made this over and over, it is a family favorite. Freezes and re-heats beautifully.
