Most of the time, my kids are good sports about new recipes. However, every kid has an off day. (Can I get an amen from all the parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles out there?!) Ryder took one look at this while it was cooking and decided he wasn’t having any of it. However, once this Crock Pot Garlic White Mac ‘n Cheese that I adapted from Gooseberry Patch’s 303 ‘Round the Clock Recipes was done, he decided he had to have a bite of mine…then two servings of his own! 😉 I bet the picky eater in your life will love it too!

How to Make Garlic White Mac ‘n Cheese in a Crock Pot
Mix together all of your ingredients, except for your 1 cup shredded mozzarella, in a large bowl. Pour your mixture into a 6-quart or casserole crock pot. Sprinkle your reserved 1 cup of shredded mozzarella across the top. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
Crock Pot Garlic White Mac ‘n Cheese Notes
- We loved this recipe with 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, but I realize everyone might not like garlic as much as we do, so feel free to use the lesser amount if you prefer.
- I cooked my noodles al dente so they were perfect when the recipe was done.
- Make sure your mixture is smoothed out when you are done pouring it into your crock pot and that your cheese is covering as many noodles on top as possible. If not, your noodles that are sticking out will get crunchy….and no one wants that!

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
