Crab Mac And Cheese Slow Cooker

Slow Cooker Four Cheese Mac and Cheese

The BEST mac and cheese EVER!!!! No boil. No stress. Everything gets thrown right in. Even the uncooked noodles!!!

Am I the only one with Thanksgiving on my mind already? No, right?

To be honest, I have actually been thinking about Thanksgiving since March so October is not early at all.

And also. Mac and cheese is not a seasonal item. It just isn't. And I would much rather make it in a slow cooker.

It's one pot. No boil. And no stress. You literally throw everything you need right in – the uncooked macaroni, the cheeses, the milk and your spices.

Stir around the halfway mark, and add more cheese prior to serving. It's creamy. It's cheesy. And it actually keeps!
