Mac and cheese of any form is always a hit in our house. I guess that isn’t surprising given that we have four kids; what kid doesn’t love mac and cheese? Whether we make baked macaroni and cheese or we make slow cooker macaroni and cheese, you can be assured someone asks for it at least once a week. This ooey, gooey goodness will hit the spot with the cheese lovers in your life. You can start it before you pick the kids up and it will be ready just in time for dinner. That is winning on all accounts.
