Tricia’s Southern Crockpot Mac and Cheese

I love a great Mac and Cheese. I am especially fond of southern style baked mac and cheese casserole but sometimes I want to cook ahead and I want to keep my oven free for other things. I know my Sister-in-law Debbie and my Aunt Dana both make amazing mac and cheese in the crockpot. My husband signed us up for a Thanksgiving get together at the last minute so I decided to bake my chocolate cake and make a crockpot mac and cheese. While standing in the grocery store aisle, I scoured the internet for a recipe that looked like it would result in a SOUTHERN version! I found a good recipe and it came out great but I realized while making it, that I could alter the recipe to make it a bit creamier, cheesier, serve more people and make it easier to put together. This is my version of a great southern crockpot mac and cheese!

I have a real love hate relationship with food!! I love food but it doesn't always love me back so I strive to come up with recipes that are delicious and healthy while still maintaining my southern drawl! I am, after all, a true blue southern girl, y'all! (Not all of my recipes are good for you...some are just good!)
