Prepare all of the before starting the recipe. Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature, chop the onions, and grate the cheeses. Set aside 1½ cups of the sharp cheddar cheese for the top of the mac and cheese.

Step 3

First, turn the crock pot to the “Low” setting. Pour in the half & half, milk, all of the seasonings, cream cheese, butter, and onions. Stir or whisk to combine. Taste to adjust the seasonings as needed.

Step 4

Next, pour about 4 Quarts of water into to a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add ¼ cup of salt to the boiling water. Stir in the macaroni and cook FOR 3 to 4 MINUTES ONLY. Once done, drain the pasta and stir it into the milk mixture. Add and stir in all of the cheeses EXCEPT the 1½ cups of cheddar that was reserved for the top. (Note At this point you may add some grilled chicken, chopped cooked bacon, jalapenos, raw asparagus, or raw broccoli, etc. If you add precooked vegetables they will be past the “mushy” stage once the dish is done.) Top with the reserved cheddar cheese, cover with the lid, and cook on LOW for 2½ Hours. For the last ½ hour of the cooking time, turn the lid to allow some of the moisture to evaporate. Serve hot.
