How to Make Ham Mac and Cheese Bake in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

There are a few reasons why you just might love this Crock Pot Ham Mac and Cheese Bake. If you love a good baked mac and cheese casserole, you will love this. If you are looking for a mac n cheese recipe that doesn’t require you cooking them before you throw them in the crock pot, this recipe is for you. Or maybe you are just looking for a fun way to make having mac n cheese as your main dish for your dinner. Again, you are going to want to try this recipe. It is super simple to make and really good to boot!

Not every crock pot recipe can have pasta of any kind put in it without cooking it first because of the other ingredients. This recipe is one of those special ones that works beautifully with uncooked pasta. Any time you are cRocking up a recipe with uncooked pasta, it is imperative that you make sure and try to get all the pasta submerged as much as possible in the other ingredients. When I check on mine while it is cooking, I push down any pasta I see trying to peek out. If you do that, you will have one tasty dish to serve up for dinner.

(Psst…if you want to make this without ham, you can find that recipe here.)

General Notes

  • Different slow cookers will cook this dish wildly different. The original recipe this recipe is based on called for cooking it on low for 4 hours. Mine was done in 1 1/2 hours on low. It would have been burnt to a brick by 4 hours. This is NOT a fix it and forget it recipe. I highly recommend that you time your own slow cooker the first time you use this recipe to know how long yours takes and not base your time on mine or the original.

  • 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.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs cubed ham (I used three 8 oz packages, but you can use leftover ham if you have it.)
  • 8 oz. package shredded Italian 3 cheese blend
  • 8 oz. package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 12 oz. can evaporated milk
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2.5 cups uncooked macaroni

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine cheeses and set aside.
  • In a different large bowl whisk together remaining ingredients, except pasta.
  • Add pasta and 3 cups of cheese to the milk and egg mixture and stir well.
  • Pour mixture into a lightly greased 6 quart slow cooker and push your macaroni down into the other ingredients so it is not sticking up out of the other ingredients. (This makes it so your pasta can have the liquid it needs to cook all the way.)
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture.
  • Cover and cook on low for 1-4 hours (timing varies greatly depending on your crockpot) until cheese is melted and creamy and pasta has reached desired tenderness.

Notes

  • Different slow cookers will cook this dish wildly different. The original recipe this recipe is based on called for cooking it on low for 4 hours. Mine was done in 1 1/2 hours on low. It would have been burnt to a brick by 4 hours. This is NOT a fix it and forget it recipe.
