I saw this macaroni & cheese on one of my favorite food blogs (Six Sisters’ Stuff) & knew it had to be fattening because it looked so creamy. Haha! Well, I decided I had to make it anyway because my kids are picky & I figured this would be one meal they would actually eat. Well, I was right! My extremely picky 3 1/2 year old asked for SECONDS! I couldn’t believe it! This macaroni & cheese is kind of high maintenance for a slow cooker meal, but it is so CREAMY & delicious. I was totally just going to make a sandwich for myself & eat this on the side, but it was so creamy & cheesy that I totally had a bowl full. Anyway, this is an extremely kid friendly dish, so there you go!

Created by Amber Brady
Yields5 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 ½ cups grated medium or sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup light sour cream
  • 10.75 oz can condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Par-cook macaroni noodles by boiling for 6 minutes. Drain & set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter with cheese. Stir until completely melted.
  • Spray the inside of a 4-QT slow cooker, add sour cream, condensed cheddar cheese soup, milk, salt, pepper, & mustard. Add melted butter & cheese. Mix well.

  3. I tried this recipe with adding half a packet of hidden valley ranch and cut up bits of cooked turkey bacon. Also I used low fat cheddar cheese soup and substituted the sour cream for fat free plain Greek yogurt. More protein and less fat! It turned out delicious.
