In case you guys haven’t noticed, I like mac ‘n cheese A LOT. I love trying out new recipes or making up my own. Sometimes I am in the mood for a creamy mac ‘n cheese, other times I want a super cheesy one and other times I want one tastes like a baked mac ‘n cheese. So when I saw this Old Fashioned Crock Pot Mac ‘n Cheese in Gooseberry Patch’s Everyday Slow Cooker, I knew it was going to be on the menu.
Old Fashioned Crock Pot Mac ‘n Cheese Notes:
- If you are a beginner, you can totally cRock this recipe! It is super easy and a great one to try out your crock pot skills on. The one thing to always remember is to watch a recipe closely the first time you make it so that you will know how your particular slow cooker cooks a recipe. Doing this will keep you from over-cooking or under-cooking this recipe and others and will help boost your confidence so that you won’t be intimidated by any recipe!
- I really like the sides to brown up, so I let my Old Fashioned Crock Pot Mac ‘n Cheese stay in a little longer than it had to. If you don’t like the browned sides, you can take it out earlier.
- For this yummy recipe, I used my new Hamilton Beach Multi-Quart Slow Cooker on the 4-quart setting. If you don’t have one yet, you can use a 4-5 quart slow cooker.

December 8, 2016 at 1:55 pmIf I double this recipe how much longer does it need to cook?

I have not tried doubling the recipe, but if I did, I would use a 6-8 quart crock pot. As for the cooking time, I would start watching it around the 3-4 hour mark. With the larger crock pot size, I would assume the time should be about the same, but watch it closely just in case it does need different timing. Let me know how it turns out! Enjoy!
