The Cheesiest Crockpot Mac and Cheese- with NO Flour
Over the holidays, I was assigned to make Crockpot Mac and Cheese for one the kids’ school parties. The problem? I never made any before!
Well, thankfully, I happened upon this recipe from Dinner with Julie, and decided to give it a go. Even more thankfully… It was THE BEST. Cheesiest Crockpot Mac and Cheese I have ever had in my life!
This homemade crockpot mac and cheese recipe has no flour, just cheesy goodness! So, if you’re a cheese-fanatic, who also loves a simple but delicious comfort food family meal, this is an absolute must-try!
Crockpot Mac and Cheese Recipe

- an 8 ounce package cream cheese
-
Place all ingredients in the Crockpot, and stir to combine.
-
Turn your Crockpot on low, and allow to cook for approximately 3 hours (If you're one who enjoys the crispy bits, allow to cook for 4-5 hours on low).

I’ve tried a couple times to make mac and cheese in the slow cooker with no success. Can’t wait to try this recipe out and see if I have better luck.
i will definitely try this one for my church potluck
Do you cook the Mac and cheese before putting it in the crock pot?
Nope. Everything goes in the Crockpot raw and uncooked.
I’m trying this for my son’s bday party this weekend but am using the shell pasta. Would the cook time be the same? Also, I was going to try doubling this. I have a large crockpot. Do you think doubling it would work? Thanks!
Shells will work as long as the box is the right ounce weight. And I double it all the time, and it still turns out yummy!
If I am making this a side and not a main dish how any willit feed?
A lot. I’d say 15-20, if I had to guess.
I’ve been looking for something to make for my book club next week and this just made it to the top of the list. Anything with the word’ cheesiest’ in the title just makes me so excited!
I make a crockpot mac and cheese recipe and just was looking at those posted on pinterest when I came upon yours but want you to know that the first recipe says 2 lbs elbow macaroni but when you click on “make it” it says 1 lb. My recipe calls for 1 and 1/2 lb so in yours which is correct? I don’t have cream cheese in mine I’d like to try it. Mine has cheddar cheese soup.
Pinterest takes information off sites and puts it on theirs, so information from Pinterest can be inaccurate. The most accurate information is on the website where it was originally written. So for my recipe, 1 pound (16 ounces).
I made this at Easter for the first time and loved it. It’s cooking right now for my night shift buddies while we work. I have doubled it both times. The only thing I did different this time is I stirred it at the 2 hour mark. Love it!!
