Does anyone here have a low fat macaroni and cheese recipe that can be made in your crockpot. I have so much cooking to do for this weekend :chef: and I'd like to just throw the macaroni together and not have to worry about it. Thanks.

INGREDIENTS
8 ounces elbow macaroni
4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper



DIRECTIONS
In a large pot, cook the macaroni in boiling water 10 minutes, or until al dente, and drain.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked macaroni, 3 cups of the sharp Cheddar cheese, evaporated milk, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a slow cooker that has been coated with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of shredded sharp Cheddar cheese.
Cover, and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours, or until the mixture is firm and golden around the edges. Do not remove the cover or stir the mixture until the mixture has finished cooking. Serve warm.

1. Can I use any type of pasta for this recipe?

Yes, you can use any type of pasta for this recipe. However, we recommend using a short and sturdy pasta such as penne, elbow, or rotini to hold up well in the slow cooker.

2. Can I substitute the milk for a non-dairy alternative?

Yes, you can substitute the milk for a non-dairy alternative such as almond milk or coconut milk. Just make sure to use an unsweetened and unflavored version to avoid altering the taste of the dish.

3. How long should I cook the mac and cheese in the slow cooker?

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 2-3 hours on high heat or 4-5 hours on low heat. However, the cooking time may vary depending on your specific slow cooker, so it's best to check the pasta for doneness after 2 hours on high or 4 hours on low.

4. Can I add additional ingredients to this recipe?

Yes, you can customize this recipe by adding your favorite ingredients such as diced vegetables, cooked protein, or different types of cheese. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly based on the additional ingredients you add.

5. Can I make this recipe ahead of time and reheat it?

Yes, you can make this recipe ahead of time and reheat it in the microwave or oven. However, the texture of the pasta may be slightly different after reheating, so we recommend enjoying it freshly cooked for the best results.
