Seriously the best side dish recipe for Mac & Cheese. Like ever.

The winter months are perfect for comfort foods. And there is nothing more comforting than a big pot of macaroni and cheese. Making it in the slow cooker is as easy as dumping in a few ingredients, turning it on, and walking away.

A few months ago I discovered a recipe for Creamy Macaroni and Cheese made in the slow cooker and, after a few attempts, perfected it. At least perfected it so every member of my family will eat it without complaining. That's a big accomplishment, right?

Slow Cooker Macaroni & Cheese

  • 1 box (16 oz.) elbow macaroni
  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 can condensed cheddar cheese soup
  • 1 cup milk (I use 1%)
  • A little salt and pepper (honestly I've never measured it!)

Boil the macaroni until tender. Drain and mix with the rest of the ingredients in the slow cooker. I really just dump it all together and stir it up.

Set your slow cooker to LOW for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally, and — voilà — you and your family will be enjoying a home-cooked comfort dinner!
