But if you need to make a bigger batch this recipe doubles easily and because the pasta noodles are cooked on the stove-top you do not really need to adjust the cooking time and your elbow macaroni won’t get mushy.

This recipe makes about 4 servings which I think is perfect if I am making it just for the kids or I am going to serve it as a side dish to go along with a main entree and vegetables. And I have to say…this recipe, the kids absolutely adore! Cooked on the stove top, baked in the oven and now this yummy version made in the slow cooker. We have tried several homemade macaroni & cheese recipes over the years. But in my humble opinion homemade is always better than anything you are going to find in a pouch of powder.

While in a pinch, a box of store bought mac and cheese will do. I don’t know a kid who doesn’t like macaroni and cheese and MY kids are no exception to that rule.
