Hello Friends! I hope you are having a wonderful week! Today we are sharing a post that we get lots of requests for so we are publishing it once more.

This macaroni and cheese recipe can be made very easily. You do not need to precook the pasta, just toss everything into the slow cooker. Simple and time-saving which are two of my favorite things!Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese | Organized Island

 

I love this easy crock pot recipe, because I can just throw everything into the pot and let it go. There is absolutely no need to pre-boil the pasta.

How To Make No Boil Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese

Lightly oil sides and bottom of slow cooker. Place all ingredients into a crockpot or slow cooker and stir so that the cheese is not just sitting on top of the pasta.

Cook on low for two hours it will be ready before you know it. Be sure to stir it up before serving. It is so rich and creamy and super easy!

    Raquel, This is a great recipe that my pre-teen can make for us. She is introducing herself to the kitchen and loves to surprise us on weekends with breakfast. I think is time she started working on some lunch. Great and easy recipe, thanks! Also thanks for being a part of this virtual potluck for Christy. It's been great meeting you and other wonderful bloggers. Hugs!

    Are you KIDDING me?!?! You don't need to precook the pasta?!?! I am ABSOLUTELY trying this...I always find the 'cook the pasta according to package directions' step to be so annoying (don't know why, because it really isn't all that hard to do!), but for a busy mom, every step that can be skipped saves precious time! Love love love this! Pinning!

    I am so glad to have gotten to know you through the potluck. I am following you on social media so I can see what else you cook up going forward! 🙂

    The potluck is such a sweet idea! I've found so many other awesome bloggers after finding Christy's site and I love the support you give each other.

    Now, ahem,

    This looks so good!!! This would make an awesome reunion dish for my southern traditional-eating family. I'm more of an experimental cook so sometimes I have a hard time thinking simple. I might make this for a halloween party this year as well! Especially if I could find some cool halloween-y shaped pasta. Do you know if this freezes well? Thank you for the awesome recipe. I'll subscribe to your blog now.

    I love that the pasta doesn't have to be precooked. I don't understand recipes that I basically make the mac & cheese and heat it in the slow cooker. Doesn't really save much time. This looks great!

        Can I eliminate the milk? And used cooked pasta?

          You can use cooked pasta, just watch so that you don't overcook it. If you omit the milk, be sure to add water or another liquid so that the noodles don't get dry.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
