In your crock pot, 1 bag frozen SOUTHERN hash browns (they are the tiny square ones), 1 carton chicken stock (this equals 4 cups), 1 can cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup (22.6 oz can), 1 C sharp cheddar cheese. Put this on low for about 8 hours. Crisp up 4-6 strips of bacon & crumble, toss that into your soup & add 1 brick cream cheese & stir until all is incorporated. Holy cow, this is amazing and perfect for winter. If you want to be fancy schmancy....serve in bread soup bowls.
I am one of the world’s biggest mac-n-cheese fans, so I just HAD to try this recipe. Absolutely delicious, rich, and creamy, and cleanup is a breeze! Another winner from Catherine’s kitchen. Thanks for sharing!
@@danielbeard467 ooo sounds yummy. Mine was liquidy at first, but then turned thick when it sat out for a little bit. The sauce was like a “rue” though..a bit grainy. I used 32 Oz of cheese. Maybe I used too much? Thanks for your help!
Looks yummy!😊 I do think when you grate the blocks of cheese the cheese melts so much better then the already shredded cheese in a bag👍 Can’t wait to make this!
My mouth's watering for this one...thanks for the recipe! Also agree about grating your own cheese and am happy to see you using that cheese grating gadget. I recently got one and am so happy with how easily it grates my cheese...a game changer!
My daughter made a crockpot of macaroni and cheese for Thanksgiving and in two days my 18 year old grandson ate all of it, yes ALL OF IT! This is a great recipe.
No THAT is an EASY CHEESY way to make mac n cheese!!! Thank you Catherine!!! I will definitely be taking this to a Christmas party!!! God Bless Us All!!!
I agree w/ you 1000% about grating your own cheese! It's worth a few extra minutes & the texture is waaay better than pre-shredded. When they add cellulose as an anti-caking agent, it doesn't melt as well & tends to separate & be greasy rather than creamy ❤😊
Am I the only one who thinks pre shredded cheese is just to damned expensive? I'll take the 2/3 less expensive brick of cheese (coated in NOTHING) and take it home. I've got a grater there.
You said the magic word Catherine! Cheese!😍 I've been using your millionaire mac and cheese recipe ever since you made that video! It made a large baking pan full and two smaller pans! I gave the smaller pans to other people and kept the biggest one for me!😋 You never disappoint with your wonderful recipes!😚 Thanks for sharing another great recipe!🥰
Good morning to you and your family. Thank You for another great recipe. Can't wait to try it and feed people where I live when we have pot lucks. God Bless you all and have a great day ❤😊
Looks soooo good yummy ¡ Going to make that this weekend. !we love ma/cheese in are home for sure thank you ☃️🌲🎅🏼🤶🙏😇🎀🎄God bless happy holidays to you and yours !! 8:09
Oh my, this looks delicious!! Definitely making. I've got some cans of evaporated milk I needed to use up. And yes, cheese is so much better freshly grated! Thank you for another great recipe.
Doing this WITHOUT the salt (heart healthy diet, you know) and see how it turns out! I WILL be using tomato & lemon powder to substitute salt. I'll update y'all!
Oh boy does that look good! You could even make it the star of your meal...set out a few bowls of diced ham, crumbled bacon, cut up steak or chicken, broccoli, sliced green onion...YUM!
Some curry powder too! I do love to use ratios of canned milk & cream or half and half for taste and texture of course its easy to use even just a little too much canned milk taste wise I like to use macaroni that holds in plenty of sauce Also, love to use varieties of cheese that combine grainy with smooth as well as the flavor profiles and velveeta and white cheese work very well. If I use gouda or other you only need A LITTLE for good effect there. And, then the real gritty texture of dried cheese Ppl who use too much butter will kind of ruin the sauce and its taste effect
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family. I was wondering if I could substitute for half-and-half and possibly even the carnation milk for heavy cream? It is after all the holidays and decadence runs wild lol I might have to add more chicken broth because it is so thick but I was really wanting to get your opinion please. I’ve been a fan of your show for many years
Thank you for explaining that you need to stir. I thought not lifting the lid was for all recipes. I tried someone else's recipe, twice, that said cook it on high for two hours and not touch it and it came out a burnt mess. I kept thinking I was doing something wrong.
Hey how are you I wanted say I love your videos and all your food always looks amazing I was wondering if you do t use any kind of broth what could you replace it could you use milk or water thanks so much and stay blessed ❤
@@CatherinesPlatesthank you so much me and my kids are looking forward to trying it today and getting your cook book im excited you and your family have a blessed day ❤
This looks so yummy! Question: Can this be assembled ahead of time (ie, the night before) and then started in the slow cooker the next day, or would the noodles absorb too much of the liquid prematurely?
Does anyone know how this would be with a gluten fre type of macaroni and celiac Catherine? What are your thoughts on making it with a gluten-free Elbow noodle
Wowza!! 🎉 Quick question: Why do you add chicken broth if it needs more liquid instead of, say, milk? Is it just a preference or is there some cooking trick associated with the broth? I'm just curious! Thank you, Catherine! Looks so yummy! 👌😊
Great recipe! I would not recommend using packaged grated cheese. It does not have the same flavor as if you were to grate your own. There is a waxy substance around the cheese that is used to preserve the cheese.👎
More easy Crockpot meal PLEASE!! I LOVE Crockpot meals that are simple & easy and taste delicious. Thanks! ❤

How did your sauce turn out? Mine felt like a “rue”. Tasted delicious though!
Mine turned out really thick and creamy with just a slight crust around the edges.

Come to think of it, I only used around 24 oz of cheese, but I did make sure to stir it thoroughly every 30 minutes or so.
Looks yummy!😊 I do think when you grate the blocks of cheese the cheese melts so much better then the already shredded cheese in a bag👍 Can’t wait to make this!
This recipe is fantastic. I have tried dozens of Mac & Cheese recipes. This one has great flavors and is easy to make.

Looks delicious. Could you give us info on the cheese grater? It looks better than the one I have.

Delicious I have made this also 👍
I need that grater
The link is in my Amazon store on my blog.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can us Heavy Cream, but it's going to be super rich.

Hey how are you I wanted say I love your videos and all your food always looks amazing I was wondering if you do t use any kind of broth what could you replace it could you use milk or water thanks so much and stay blessed ❤
You can use water in place of the broth.
@@CatherinesPlatesthank you so much me and my kids are looking forward to trying it today and getting your cook book im excited you and your family have a blessed day ❤
Looks great. If you wanted to add broccoli, when would you?
Any idea why mine just turned out too liquid-y? I followed the directions exactly. Thanks!❤️
Not right off hand. Here is my blog link to my written recipe maybe it will help. catherinesplates.com/creamy-slow-cooker-mac-cheese-no-boil-pasta/
yum!!!!
This looks so yummy! Question: Can this be assembled ahead of time (ie, the night before) and then started in the slow cooker the next day, or would the noodles absorb too much of the liquid prematurely?
I think the noodles would absorb to much of the liquid.
We love mac n cheese!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Does anyone know how this would be with a gluten fre type of macaroni and celiac Catherine? What are your thoughts on making it with a gluten-free Elbow noodle
I'm not really sure.
Yum yummy yum❤😊😅
Can this be doubled and cook within the same time frame ?
Yes, you can double, and you'll just have to keep an eye on the cook time.
Catherine can u tell me how many that serves❓❓
I would say about 6 to 10 just depends on the serving size.
Hi Catherine! Do you like your slow cooker? Can you tell me what type it is? I’m looking to purchase a new one. This Mac n cheese looks AMAZING 😋
It's a 6-quart Crock Pot and I love it.
@@CatherinesPlatesthanks! I found it on your Amazon store 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Where can I get a cheese grater like that that can shreds blocks of cheese like this? I'm very intrigued right now.
You can find the link in my Amazon store here. www.amazon.com/shop/catherinesplates earns commissions
Is there a trick to navigating your website? It seems to jump around and I have a hard time finding the recipe for which you post the link.
Wait for the ads to finish loading then search for what you're looking for. when that loads tad down a couple of times, and you'll see the links.
Looks yummy! I must try it! I make alot of crackpot meals! 😅
I just made mac and cheese in my crock pot . First time.

Wowza!! 🎉 Quick question: Why do you add chicken broth if it needs more liquid instead of, say, milk? Is it just a preference or is there some cooking trick associated with the broth? I'm just curious! Thank you, Catherine! Looks so yummy! 👌😊
I was wondering that too. Can you taste the chicken broth in the Mac and cheese?
That's fine with the milk, it will make it a richer flavor, the chicken broth keeps it a lighter flavor.
Can I double this in the crockpot? Is there enough room in there you think?
Yes, plenty of room, but you'll need to cook it longer.
Mmmmmmm
U did it again
I like my Mac and Cheese a little more pourable than that so I would add even more chicken broth. Looks good
Oh Lord, that looks fantastic! And NO Velveeta! YAY! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Screams i got everything i need ..dont have too..elbow my way threw the store or don't feel like playing touch down foot ball over items 😂
😊
Looks good!!! Hmmm 🤔🤔What if you added a little Velveeta...😋😋
Sure, you can do that.
Damn it. Now I want mac and cheese when I get home.
Would top it with bread crumbs!!!
❤
Mmmmm
😋😋

Yuppers, grated cheese has chemicals in it ..
🤤🤤🤤
I know some people hungry for this Mac cheese
