This crockpot macaroni and cheese is made without having to boil the macaroni. So good and so easy!
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!
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.
Cook on low and 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!
How easy is that? It is so delicious too!

Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese Recipe No Boil
8 oz. package dry large elbow macaroni
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
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 heat for 2 hours. That’s it.
Be sure to stir it up before serving. It is so rich and creamy and super easy!

Raquel says
Thank you Tamara!
Wanda says
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!
Raquel says
Thanks Wanda, it is super simple and can be embellished with different types of cheeses. So nice to connect with you here!
Samantha @FerraroKitchen says
I love this recipe!! I never make mac n cheese and my friends think I’m crazy! haha I am so throwing this in the crockpot..can’t wait!! And I am so thrilled I am meeting all these new bloggy friends through the potluck :))
Raquel says
Thank you Samantha! It is a great quick prep meal! So happy to hear you are in the OC too 🙂
Samantha @FerraroKitchen says
PS…I just noticed you’re in OC…so am I!!
Kristin @ Dizzy Busy and Hungry! says
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! 🙂
Raquel says
Thank you Kristen for your sweet comments. Let me know if you try it. You can also add different cheeses to mix it up a bit.
Akaleistar says
Love a good batch of macaroni and cheese!
Raquel says
Thank you!
Ellen says
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 easy, and I love mac ‘n cheese! I definitely need to try this one. 🙂
Raquel says
Thank you Ginny! It’s really tasty!
Katherines Corner says
I’ve never made mac and cheese in the crock pot before. What a great idea! xo
Stephanie @ PlainChicken says
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!
Raquel says
Thanks Stephanie. I agree! Thanks for stopping by!
Elizabeth Ellis says
Can I eliminate the milk? And used cooked pasta?
Raquel says
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.
Raquel says
Thanks Stephanie. I agree! Thanks for stopping by!
Susan says
This might be the easiest recipe for mac and cheese I’ve ever seen and it looks delish!
Raquel says
It is really simple Susan. Thanks for stopping by!
Robin @ Simply Southern Baking says
Now mac and cheese is pure comfort food to me! Thank you for being a part of this virtual potluck for Christy. 🙂
Raquel says
Thank you for stopping by Robin! Hope she is mending well. 🙂

Thank you Robin! It was fun and nice to be a part of it! Enjoy your weekend!
