This Bobby Flay Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese recipe delivers a creamy, cheesy comfort food classic made effortlessly in your slow cooker. The combination of sharp Cheddar cheese, evaporated milk, and whole milk blends perfectly with tender elbow macaroni for a rich and satisfying dish that’s perfect for dinner or a hearty side.

Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked al dente

Cheese

  • 5 cups sharp Cheddar cheese, grated and divided

Dairy & Eggs

  • One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp salt
  • Dash of pepper
  • Dash of paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare Slow Cooker: Spray a 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In the slow cooker, add the cooked elbow macaroni, evaporated milk, whole milk, melted butter, salt, pepper, beaten eggs, and 4 1/2 cups of the grated sharp Cheddar cheese. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of grated Cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture, then dust with a dash of paprika for color and extra flavor.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the mac and cheese mixture on LOW heat for 3 hours and 15 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld.
  5. Finish and Serve: After cooking, turn off the slow cooker, give the mac and cheese a final gentle stir to mix the cheese topping into the dish slightly, then serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the slow cooker model.
  • For a creamier texture, stir occasionally halfway through cooking if possible.
  • Feel free to use a combination of cheeses like Gruyère or Monterey Jack for added flavor depth.
  • To make ahead, assemble the mixture in the slow cooker insert, refrigerate, and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours the next day.
  • Use cooking spray generously to prevent sticking and aid in cleanup.
