Slow cooker four cheese mac and cheese – No tension. No boil. Everything is just dumped in. Including the raw noodles!

To be quite honest, I have been considering Thanksgiving since March, so October is not at all early.

As well. Mac and cheese are always in season. It simply isn’t. Additionally, I much prefer to prepare it in a slow cooker.

One pot is used. zero boils. And no tension. Everything is literally thrown in at once, including the uncooked macaroni, cheese, milk, and spices.
