“I’m a oven baked mac cheese girl, but wanted to try something different….glad I tried this crockpot style…it was delicious and turned out great. Made my husband smile!! I added, for flavor, teaspoon each of mustard powder, garlic powder and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. Als” — a cook, 5.0★
“This sounds delicious but I am wondering how long to you cook your pasta for? Do the noodles get mushy being in the crock pot for so long? Have you ever just cooked noodles and added in in after all the cheese melts? I keep reading there is a lot of liquid is ” — a cook
