How to Make Chicken Mac ‘n Cheese in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
This Chicken Crock Pot Mac ‘n Cheese is super simple. Just put all your ingredients together and let the crock pot do its thing! If you want to make it even easier, you could try using chicken from a rotisserie chicken from the store! I am all for making getting dinner on the table as easy as possible!
When this recipe is cooking, it will look soupy. Do not worry! It will thicken up in the cooling time. The stirring during cooking will ensure the cubes of Velveeta do not stick to the side of your crock pot while they are melting. Stirring during the cooling time will help release the heat evenly so the sauce can thicken up. The stirring does not have to be tedious. Just give it a stir as you walk through the kitchen. You are going to love this creamy deliciousness!
(Psst…want to try this with beef? You can find the recipe here.)
