How to Make Mac and Cheese in a Slow Cooker

Updated: Mikey taped a Cooking Show for this dish.

Aunt Lou here.

I don’t know who was more excited about this recipe, me or the kids. They saw me taking photos of it in the crock pot, then plating it up and taking more photos. When I told them that they were going to have it for lunch, Ryder was literally jumping up and down with excitement! Iyla kept saying, “Yummy yummy!” over and over again. And truth be told, mommy couldn’t wait to dig in either!

I changed things up a bit on this recipe because I wanted it super creamy. My wish was fulfilled! And I added in the sprinkling of the Italian bread crumbs to see what it was like. The kids and I alike loved it with the additional flavor. If Italian bread crumbs are not up your alley, then feel free to leave them out.

Adapted from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker to the Rescue

Crock Pot Cheesy Rotini Ingredients

  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 10.75 oz can Cheddar cheese soup
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 16 oz pkg Velveeta (or half of a 32 oz pkg)
  • 16 oz box rotini pasta, cooked
  • Optional: 1/4 – 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs

Crock Pot Cheesy Rotini Notes

  • This recipe is adapted from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker to the Rescue
  • We used the Hamilton Beach Multi-Quart Slow Cooker, on the 4-quart setting, but you could use any 4 quart slow cooker.
  • Looking for more recipes? Our Recipe Finder can help you find exactly what you need.
  • Check out all our favorite recommendations for cookbooks, slow cookers and low carb essentials in our Amazon Influencer Shop.
  • As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    Is there a way to make this heart-healthy or even low fat?

    I have a question I bought everything for the recipe, but do I have to cook in a crock pot. Can I use the top of the stove?

    Excellent! Made this Sunday and it tasted just like my MIL’s recipe. I always hated making it, though, because you had to stand over the stove and stir it non-stop so it didn’t burn. Very yummy, easy and no mess to clean up. Definitely a keeper!

    Wow, this looks so delicious on my large tablet. Thank you for sharing this idea for us. Usually, coming up with what to cook is harder than the actual cooking

    Can this be made using uncooked rotini & increase the cooking time?

      Hi Jennifer!

      I haven’t tried it with uncooked rotini. The liquid amounts, as well as the time, would need to be tweaked in order for the pasta to cook. Without testing it, I don’t want to make recommendations as to what those tweaks would be. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes! Enjoy!

      Hi Graeme!

      It is half milk half light cream. I’ve also heard it called half cream. If you don’t have it available in Australia, you can google how to make substitutes. I promise you it will be worth the effort with how yummy this dish tastes! Enjoy!
