Crock pot mac and cheese no eggs



I want to start by saying I am VERY excited to share this recipe with you! This was my third attempt at Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese and I seriously nailed it with this one thanks to Paula Deen. My first attempt was probably about a year ago and I ended up with a curdled mess. I decided to give a it a second shot a couple weeks ago at a fans request. Two words: curdle city. Just see for yourself:

Again, it ended up dry and despite using evaporated milk, it STILL curdled! 



I wanted something creamy. I wanted my noodles to stay separated. So after a bit more googling, I landed upon Paula Deen’s Creamy Crock Pot Mac & Cheese. The reviews were good and I thought, ok I’ll give it a go. Here is how it’s done:


Ingredients
cups uncooked elbow macaroni
tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • PLEASE NOTE: You will see on other sites that this recipe calls for 3 eggs. I highly recommend that you DO NOT ADD EGGS! 

Directions:

– Boil the macaroni in water for six minutes. Drain.

– In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.

– In slow cooker, combine cheese mixture, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper. Add the drained macaroni and stir again.

– Cook on low for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. (I cooked mine for about 2 hours and stirred about 3x)


This is what the cheese should look like after you melt the butter and shredded cheese. It only takes a couple minutes on med/low. I also want to note that I used medium cheddar instead of sharp cheddar.

I can’t rave enough about this recipe. Just look at how every noodle is swimming in a pool of ooey gooey cheesy goodness!

BOTH of my boys devoured this. Big brother took one bite and said “Mommy, YUM YUM!” and asked for more when he finish his first bowl. Little brother couldn’t get enough! I had a couple helpings as well 🙂

 I’m glad I gave Crock Pot Mac & Cheese one last try…Third time’s a charm!

Do you put eggs in crock pot mac and cheese?

In a large 4-quart slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray, mix the macaroni, evaporated milk, milk, butter, salt, pepper, eggs and all but 1/2 cup of the grated cheese. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top of the mixture and then sprinkle with paprika. Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours and 15 minutes.

What does adding egg to mac and cheese do?

The egg will make the Mac and Cheese smoother and creamier. I have tried this recipe with and without adding the egg and it does affect the texture of the final recipe. In a medium bowl, beat one egg. Warm the egg by drizzling in, very slowly, 2-3 Tablespoons of the thickened milk mixture.

Do you put eggs in baked macaroni and cheese?

In a large bowl, combine the macaroni, cheese, milk and eggs. Add some salt and pepper. Transfer to the prepared dish. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

How do you thicken Crock Pot macaroni and cheese?

Thicken the sauce. remove the lid of the crock pot to allow for liquid to evaporate. add in more cheese. cornstarch slurry: in a separate bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of COLD water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Stir it into the Mac and Cheese and the dish will thicken as it continues to cook.
