Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese – Tasty Goodness in the Slow Cooker

It is hard to live in a house with 5 kids and not have Macaroni and Cheese way too often. I need to keep dinner exciting, and figure out something different every night. I love cooking in the slow cooker and I am on a mission to see how many different meals I can master. As usual, the first few times I made this it was not so great, nothing special and just a little off. It is hard for me to find recipes that are big enough to feed our family and still have food left over for all the kids to have lunch the next day. I decided to go big with this one and try to see if I could make a dish big enough for 12-14 servings.
