Cris here. For as long as I can remember, Smoked Sausage Mac and Cheese has been a staple at all our family gatherings. I can remember the first time I ever had it, my Aunt Sharon brought it to a Thanksgiving dinner and I remember thinking how GOOD it was and I was hooked!

So, a while back I decided to take one of Aunt Lou’s favorite mac ‘n cheese recipes from Gooseberry Patch’s 303 Simple & Satisfying Recipes and turn it up it a notch by adding in some delicious smoked sausage! Mikey made us a video (pardon the lighting issues).

You see, every year, every holiday, I am now the one who makes the mac ‘n cheese for my family holiday meals and now all the kids beg for Aunt Cris’ (and Mommy’s) Smoked Sausage Mac ‘n Cheese. The problem is that I can’t seem to keep Aunt Lou from stealing all the sausages! So I double up on the sausage when I know she is going to be around… you think I am kidding, but I am not!

For this post, I served this Crock Pot Smoked Sausage Mac ‘n Cheese in my Grandma’s dishes. I remember many a holiday that we ate off these. I decided this occasion called for the special wheat dishes so I pulled them out.

Did your Grandma or mom ever have special dishes?

Crock Pot Smoked Sausage Mac ‘n Cheese Notes:

  • Feel free to double up on the sausage if you have folks who like more smoked sausage.
  • If you cannot find shredded Velveeta, you can use 3 1/2 cups of the block Velveeta cubed. A 32oz package of block Velveeta should have about 4 cups in it.
  • If you are a crock pot liner user, THIS is a recipe I would highly recommend their use.
  • For this Crock Pot Smoked Sausage Mac ‘n Cheese, I have used many different crock pots. I recommend using a 6 quart over a smaller slow cooker because it will stick less. Additionally, I love using the non-stick slow cookers with this recipe if I am not using a liner, because it does tend to stick.

    This sounds great! What brand of sausage do you use?

    Hey guys!

    I update notes.The original recipe I adapted to create this one called for 3 1/2 cups cubed (block) Velveeta. So feel free to use that instead of the shredded Velveeta. We were using the shredded for convenience. Enjoy!

    I needed a conversion too. Found several references that confirmed 4oz (115 g) = 1 cup shredded cheese. Looking forward to trying this recipe in my Crock Pot Casserole.

    I’m not sure that we have shredded velveeta cheese around here. Is there a substitute for that, or should I just use block velveeta?

      Hi JoAnn-
      You can use 3 1/2 cups of cubed regular Velveeta instead. Enjoy!

    Will a 1# box of Velveeta yield enough for 4 cups shredded? Better yet – can real extra sharp Cheddar be used in place of Velveeta?

      Hi Pat! I would just used 3 1/2 cups of block Velveeta cubed instead of trying to shred it if you can’t find the bags. I haven’t tried cheddar as a substitute. I’d be a little concerned it might get oily in this case, however, if you give it a try, let me know how it goes! Enjoy!
