SO you may have to adjust the time for your slow cooker and set it to warm if your mac n cheese gets done earlier than expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients 16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni 3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 8 ounces block cream cheese 2\u00bd cups of whole milk 12 ounces evaporated milk Directions Step 1: Add all of the ingredients into your crockpot.
