Steps

1

I like this method because you don't steam up your kitchen with boiling pasta water, and the macaroni seems extra rich and cheesy.
2

Melt butter in saucepan, whisk in dry ingredients and cook' stirring, 1 minute.
3

Gradually stir in milk and cook, stirring, til bubbling and thickened.
4

Remove from heat and stir in cheeses.
5

Pour into 3 1/2 quart slow cooker and stir in uncooked macaroni. Cook on high for 1 hour, until bubbly and macaroni is soft. Don't overcook unless you want brown crusty bits around the edge.
6

Variation - Mac and Cheese with Sweet Potato and Chicken.
7

Peel and dice 1 small sweet potato, and cook in 1 cup boiling chicken stock til tender, 4 min. Use the cooking liquid to replace some of the milk, and proceed as above, adding the sweet potato and 1 cup shredded cooked chicken with the macaroni.

The sweet potato is so well hidden in the cheese that even veggie haters will eat it!
