I also like to add a little bit of prepared mustard to my cheese sauce.

doesn't it come out too soft? I hate when you eat M&C in a restaurant and the noodle are so overcooked they are mush.

Thanks Lady Diana, for posting the link!
An interesting twist ... have never seen eggs in a mac and cheese recipe!

ewwwwwwww mushy mac and cheese is tres horrible!
I totally cringe whenever I goof on that, so I try to keep it al dente.

Lady Diana

Al'dente or soft, you're choice. You can add partially cooked macaroni to the crock pot....strictly you and your families' choice.
Trisha's recipe is eally good.

Sounds yummy, but when I use the crockpot for a meal, I don’t want to have to use another pot to cook something separately 🤪. I might try these ingredients by cooking the macaroni, and then placing all the other ingredients in the same pot, and bake it for an hour or until done. 😀

ThimbleBug ... Then, why not try it the way the recipe has it, with the macaroni uncooked??

That's exactly why I like the crock pot ... one and done ... with almost no dishes to wash!
Then it lets me go on and do something else until the meal is ready.

Didn’t notice the notes at end of recipe but see them now, thanks.

Sorry ... I forgot that the recipe has it a bit confusing. I think this is one of those, try it and see how it works for yourself type of recipes. I'll probably do a trial run of a 1/2 batch with au naturel (aka uncooked mac) in my small crock pot first. Then decide where to go from there.

A lot of people in this area put stewed tomatoes on top after it's on their plate. Not something my family ever did. I don't even like stewed tomatoes. Ewww!
