Whoa!! That looks absolutely amazing! I love that you grated the cheese as opposed to pre-grated. When you removed the lid from the crock pot, I was literally drooling!! Great play on a true Southern classic! Definitely a new friend here!!
Awesome recipe Southern Food Junkie, I’ve just checked this recipe out and it looks superb! So cheesy and gooey, I’ve joined for more as you have such a cool channel; thanks so much! 😎😋👌🏻
Hi! I’m in the TH-cam cooking creators group. So i came to check out your channel! I e never made Mac and cheese in the crockpot! This seems so much easier than the normal way!! Looked so cheesy and creamy! New Friend!!
Hey thanks for stopping by. I’ve checked out your channel as well. Yes it’s so easy to make and taste just like homemade southern Mac and cheese but no eggs in this! Try it out. Thanks 🙏
Man it is the bomb.com haha. YOu should give it a try if you have not tried this yet. Yeah man I got that Green Bean recipe of yours up on my desktop now about to watch it. Great thumbnail, looks soo good.
I was so excited to try this recipe. I made it for dinner tonight, followed the instructions and ingredients the letter and ended up with a soggy, runny mess. Didn’t set up at all. I was afraid 1 1/2 cups additional milk would be too much but I trusted the process as you described. I’m so disappointed. We were all looking forward to it. Oh well 😢
I’m sorry to hear that. Crock pots temperatures vary widely. Mine always turns out perfect as does when my mom makes it. I’ve never had this recipe fail before. It sounds like your may needed to cook a little longer.
I'm going to attempt this for Thanksgiving since I've always made the boxed one and I don't have a great oven I only have the Colby and mozzarella though 🤞🤞
It sure looked good Ronnie. I don't think I've seen my mom use a crock pot in forever, but she's got a sister that has probably 6 or more of them she uses them so much.
You mentioned while grating the cheese, to reserve a 1/2 cup for the top, but when it came to putting the cheese on top, you mentioned using one cup of cheese for the top. Which is it? I whole heartedly agree with grating your own cheese. They put stuff in grated cheese that prevents the cheese from sticking together, but it also hampers the cheese's ability to melt. Great idea for when your oven is full of other holiday dishes.
I think I forgot to post it on there. I’m sorry about that. In the mean time the directions are in the description box below. I’ll try to get it up on the website soon. Thanks for letting me know!
that cheese shredder is way better than the one i used as a kid hahaha I dont know that we have ever added sugar to it but i bet it is good!! If you like different types of mac and cheese you have to try the recipe from Joanna Gaines first cookbook.
Yeah, that is a Pampered Chef manual food processor. It works so well. I hadn't had it too long. Our old box grater broke so I bought this when I hosted a party for my cousin. I am not sure why it calls for the sugar but it is not a whole lot. I can't really tell that it is in there but I am sure there is a scientific reason it is haha. I will have to look for the one you mentioned from Joanna Gaines. I bet it is good too!
@@SouthernFoodJunkie it seems to work well! yea i am sure that sugar changes something just enough.... If you were interested in the recipe we could send you on pic on Instagram.
Amen! so creamy and good haha. Best of all, very easy. The best part to me is the edge. I like the burnt pieces that is along the edge of the crockpot.
Some crockpot cook hotter than others. I’ve never had this happen to mine all the times I’ve made this nor my mom who’s cooked this most of my adult life. Sorry that has happened.
Thanks 🙏 But there are 100’s of recipes where you have to precook an ingredient before assembling it in a crock pot. If you make vegetables beef soup in a crock pot, you precook the beef. What’s the point of putting in the crock pot then? So it will be ready when you want it. Let it cook while at work. With Mac and cheese, I can’t cook it in my oven while I’m at work. That’s dangerous. Just because you do not understand a reason behind everything doesn’t give you a reason to call someone out. #rookiecommentor
@@SouthernFoodJunkie sooooo you really trying to say that the 5-8 mins it took to cook the noodles saved your day? Lol might need to prioritize your day/time better lol! Not to mention how overcooked the noodles become, you can keep that mush #RookieAtLife 😂✌🏻
@@SouthernFoodJunkie & just a FYI just cause there might be “100’s” of recipes don’t make it ok lol there are 100’s of smokers does this mean everyone should smoke? 🤦🏻♂️but I guess you just a follower
@@kmcdogga I’m not sure what you didn’t understand. The whole point of a crock pot is convenience. You can cook while at work and have a meal ready when you get home. Your analogy of a smoker is way off. Is all about having it ready when you get home. Baked Mac and cheese takes an hour to cook in the oven. Around 20 mins putting it together and 30 to 40 minutes in the oven. Someone would have to watch that and it couldn’t cook while you’re at work. This recipe is designed to be used in a crock pot. It cooks then turns on warm so it’s done when you get home. Also if you’re cooking this for Thanksgiving or other big dinner, it doesn’t tie up your oven so you can bake other things such as a turkey, ham, or casserole. 🦃✌️
No it’s half a box or 8 ounces. The measuring cup I had the noodles in is 4 cups and you can see it half way full which would be 2 cups. I hope this helps.

Hey that’s buddy. Yes fresh grated is the only way to go! Thanks for stopping by!
In my age I have decided if you can put it in a crockpot... You should put it in the crockpot

Your wife is going to be super happy haha. It taste even better than it looks! Let me know if you make it and how you liked it.
Oh yum!! That looks and sounds delicious! I’m definitely making this recipe soon. Thanks Ronnie!
I bet this will make Keith a happy man! The cheese that is close to the edge is the best! It gets a little burnt and is crispy and so good haha.
Thanks so much for this easy recipe! I will be giving it a try!☺️✨ And I subscribed!
Thanks so much Lynn. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks 🙏.
Nice recipe, got to love home made mac and cheese!

Hey thanks so much. I appreciate it!
What size is your crockpot? Looks delicious.
This crock pot is a large 8 quart model but a smaller 4 quart one would work great for this recipe.
Never done mac and cheese in a crockpot before but yours shonuff looks good Ronnie!! Thank ya for sharing the recipe sir!! Dan
It is so easy to make Dan. You got to try it brother. Thanks.
Hey this was a big help in a pinch! Thanks man! 😊
You are welcome! I had it myself this weekend. It’s so easy and quick to make!
This has my mouth watering, Ronnie. I'm going to see if I can talk my wife into making this, instead of rice tomorrow.
Take care,
Rob
It is so easy to make and taste so yummy! I especially love the edge next to the crockpot! It get a little burnt and crispy! My favorite 😃

Good luck!

Its supposed to be 1 cup. I must have just mixed my words up.

Can’t go wrong with a big olé pot of Mac N Cheese brother, that looked good! Nice job 👍
Thanks Bro. Man this was some good stuff. I can’t wait till I can make it again!
Definitely using this!! Looks delicious!! ~Dawn
Yes give it a try and let me know what you think!
😋 Yum!!
Thanks friend 😁
Now that's what I'm talking about😂
Amen! so creamy and good haha. Best of all, very easy. The best part to me is the edge. I like the burnt pieces that is along the edge of the crockpot.
That right there will make your tongue beat your face off trying to get that last bit of cheese. Yummy yummy.
Haha do you like the edges? That’s my favorite!
@@SouthernFoodJunkie heck ya l like the edges and the top.
@@yellowjacketoutdoors Me too haha. I am on a diet now though, we will see how long it last.
How many Oz of evaporated milk please
It uses 1 can of evaporated milk which I believe is 12 oz. I hope that helps! Thanks 🙏
Make it right now kinda Nervous
@@marylopez0812 You got this!
It was awful sorry
@@marylopez0812 Wow, sorry to hear that. It has always turned out perfect for me. Keep trying!
my Mac and cheese curled.
Some crockpot cook hotter than others. I’ve never had this happen to mine all the times I’ve made this nor my mom who’s cooked this most of my adult life. Sorry that has happened.
🤔 You didnt show the finished results!! 😟
Hey Hedi, I did show the finished results at 4:50 in the video. I then tasted it. Sorry you missed it. Thanks for watching though.
Has anyone tried this without boiling the noodles first
I haven’t but have thought about experimenting with it to see if it could work. It honestly should.
if your going to cook the mac you might as well just finish cooking the rest.... defeats the whole purpose of the crock pot!!!! #Rookie

Sure thats not 16 ounces of noodles?
No it’s half a box or 8 ounces. The measuring cup I had the noodles in is 4 cups and you can see it half way full which would be 2 cups. I hope this helps.
