This is my quick & easy potluck dish that always gets eaten. I use whole wheat spirals cooked quite al dente. I also use 1/4 C butter & fat free milk, & use sharp cheddar for a bit more taste. A little powdered mustard & garlic powder for a bit more flavor & you are good to go.

Always a big hit at family gatherings and potlucks. Substituting Velveeta for half of the cheddar will make it less "greasy". The small package of Velveeta and 2 cups of cheddar is just right.

This is a fantastic recipe! I've tried several macaroni recipes, but my husband and kids haven't liked any of them...they'll only eat the macaroni out of the blue box! I made this version for a party, and everyone loved it, including my family! I've made it 3 times, and each time someone has walked away with the recipe. It's quick, easy, and good to eat!

I love this!! I add 1 tablespoon of dry mustard and a few splashes of worsestershire and just leave it on high for an hour or so. I also cut the whole recipe in half but use the whole can of soup. It's too much for just my husband and myself. I think the extra soup keeps it from drying out on high.

This was easy and a real crowd pleaser. Everyone loved it. I did a mix of Kraft American/Cheddar mix and the Kraft 4 cheese. It was my favorite homemade Mac & Cheese to date.

I made this for a party and there wasn't any left. It was very yummy! I made boiled the noodles and added the soup and butter the night before. Then the next day just added the half & half and cheese and it was super easy.

I made this and took it to a pot luck. It was gone before I had a chance to get any for myself. Good thing I made it a few days earlier to try out first. Otherwise, I would have never known how yummy it is.

This is a great recipe. I made it for a BBQ and everyone loved it. I do agree with one of the other reviewers that the kids didn't love it as much as the adults. This is a definate keeper!

I did change the recipe quite a bit, but I would definitely make this recipe again only slightly modified. I did not have a can of cheddar soup, so i substituted the half and half cream & can of cheddar soup for 2 1/2 cups whole milk and 1 cup 1% milk. I also used 3 cups cheddar and 2 cups of a Parmesan asagio cheese blend instead of 4 cups cheddar. I don't know if its just my slow cooker, but mine started to brown around the edges after only an hour, so I had to stir it and I think if I cooked it more than 2 hours it may have started to brown again, but I guess it depends on how you like it. When I make this recipe again, I think I would use only 1/4 cup of butter because I think thats what made it too rich, and I might even use less whole milk and more 1% milk.

I've been making this for years, because I subscribe to the magazine it came out of, and we all love it. My friends and family request it, because they all love it. I make it with whole wheat pasta now, and light butter, to cut a bit of the fat/carbs out. It's awesome...great recipe!

Son loved it, but my husband and I felt the pasta was overcooked and mushy. Will try again with pasta more al dente.

Adults thought this was great! My kids are just too accustomed to the "out of the box" variety, so didn't love this.

Made this for lunch today for 2-14year olds, 2-10 year olds, a 2.75 year old & two adults. Went from table to gone in 17 minutes flat. didn't have a crock pot the size recipe required, so made on stovetop, boiling down extra cheese sauce until desired thickness. Now i want a bigger crockpot to make this with!

This is absolutely delicious! I used 1 cup of Mozzarella because we needed to use it up. THis is a perfect crock pot mac and cheese for those who like the creamy version versus the thicker types made with eggs. This is def. a keeper. YUM!!
