Method

  • step 1

    Pour boiling water over the pasta and drain, then put everything in a slow cooker and stir well. Season, cover and cook on low for 1 hr. Stir again, put the lid back on and cook for another 30 mins until the pasta is cooked and the sauce has reduced enough to coat the macaroni.

  • step 2

    Leave the lid off and reduce for the last 10 mins if you need to, or add a splash more milk – this will depend on the size of your slow cooker and the brand. Serve with extra cheese.

RECIPE TIPS
USE UP LEFTOVERS

Spoon any leftover mac & cheese into the holes of a non-stick muffin tin, leaving some space. Pour over beaten eggs, season and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake at 200C/180C fan/gas 8 for 20 mins until puffed up and golden.

Can you freeze this?

Hello - thank you for your question! We wouldn't recommend freezing this dish as the cooked pasta doesn't retain its texture in the freezer. Good Food Team.

I've just cooked this and it was delicious, not too wet and not too dry. Just added some Worcestershire sauce. Cooked on low, didn't need to do the last ten minutes with lid off. Highly recommend.
