Many, many years ago when my husband was in seminary, one of his professors brought this recipe to share with the class. The professor’s wife had made crock pot macaroni & cheese the night before and he felt it was so good that it needed to be shared with the class. I made it later that week and the professor was right. This recipe needs to be shared!

Helpful Hints

While this recipe is made in your crock pot, it is not one that you can leave to cook all day while your are at work. However, the 3 hour 15 minute cook time is perfect for cooking while you are at church, ball practice, shopping, etc.

On days when you don’t have time to let it cook for over 3 hours, you can bake it in a 350° oven for 35-40 minutes. When you need something even faster than that, try my stove top quick & easy mac & cheese!
