Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese

Creamy, cheesy, and made entirely in the slow cooker. No boiling pasta separately — everything goes in one pot.

Ingredients

• 350g macaroni (uncooked)
• 400ml whole milk
• 250ml water
• 200g mature Cheddar, grated
• 100g cream cheese
• 30g butter
• 1 tsp English mustard
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Grease the slow cooker insert with a little butter.
2. Add the uncooked macaroni, milk, water, butter, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Stir well.
4. Cook on Low for 2-3 hours, stirring halfway if possible.
5. Stir in the grated Cheddar and cream cheese until melted and smooth.
6. Serve immediately — it thickens as it sits.

Tips

Keep an eye on this one — overcooking will make the pasta too soft. It’s ready when the pasta is tender and the sauce is creamy.
