I don't have a tried and true but I found this one online: Recipes: Slow cooker mac and cheese - by Angela Pollock - Helium

Not slow cooker, but take a pot, add the amount of noodles you want, then water an inch over that. Simmer on low until almost all the water is absorbed and the noodles are tender, then add a knob of butter, a splash of cream, and as much american cheese as you want. Add some different kinds to make it even more flavorful, but the american is what gives it the gooey-ness of mac and cheese. It surprisingly makes a really good stovetop mac and cheese.

I'm sure if you figured out what your preferences are using that method, you'd be able to do the same thing in a slow cooker just fine.

I found this recipe in one of the Gooseberry Patch cookbooks, but you do have to prepare the macaroni.

2 cups prepared elbow macaroni
2 T oil
12 oz can evaporated milk
1 1/2 cup milk
3 cups pasteurized process cheese spread, shredded
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 T dried minced onion

Combine macaroni and oil; toss to coat. Pour ino a lightly greased slow cooker. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat on low setting for 3 to 4 hurs, stirring occasionally. Serves 4 to 6.

A friend told me she had, but lost, a recipe for making mac and cheese in the crockpot that did not involve pre-cooking the pasta. She remembered it called for adding boiling water, as well as half and half and shredded cheddar. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

This is somewhat different, but I heard it was delicious!

Slow-Cooked Mac'N'Cheese

1 package (16 oz.s) elbow macaroni
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 can (12 os.) evaporated milk
1 can (10-3/4 oz.s) condensed cheddar cheese soup, undiluted
1 cup milk
4 cups (16 oz.s) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain. Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker; add butter. In a bowl, combine the eggs, evaporated milk, soup, milk and 3 cups cheese. Pour over macaroni mixture; stir to comibine.

Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Sprinkle with the remaining chese. Cook 15 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with paprika.

Thanks. I found lots of recipes that called for pre-cooking the pasta. What intrigued me about the one I am searching for is that you could skip that step.

The lady who did A Year of Slow Cooking has one.
I haven't tried it!

Thank you Gandalara! That sounds like what she had been searching for.
