Macaroni & Cheese

A woman ladeling a serving of Macaroni and Cheese into a white bowl, from a red Hamilton Beach slow cooker.

Nothing beats homemade macaroni & cheese for comfort food! This delicious recipe has only five ingredients and can be cooked two ways. Try the slow cooker method if you need to run some errands or leave the Dutch oven free for other dishes. If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can use the Dutch oven method instead! No matter which way you decide to make it, this macaroni & cheese will be gooey, cheesy, and delicious!

The mac and cheese looks magnificent! Would love to make later… Not in a position to make now, but would like somewhere to save it… Not confident I could find it again… Thank you…
