Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese

If your family is like mine and could eat mac & cheese every night of the week, then you’ve definitely gotta try this super easy, slow cooker version!  Made with lots of cheese, butter and sour cream, this mac & cheese will definitely be a new favorite with your family.

Other than cooking the macaroni before-hand and melting the other ingredients, there isn’t much to this recipe.  It’s great to throw together when you have multiple things going on at home, and don’t have time to be standing in front of the stove.  Once the pasta is nearly at al dente, you’ll then add it and the cheese mixture to cook for a few hours.

When you open the lid, you’ll discover a creamy, cheesy delicious pasta.  Pair with fresh veggies, or a quick green salad for a fantastic weeknight dinner.  This is definitely a meal that the entire family will love!
