Mac and Cheese is my little guys all time favorite food! He could eat bowls and bowls of it. I make box mac and cheese a lot but every once in a while I like to make the good stuff, made from scratch! I made this slow cooker mac and cheese for a play date that we had a few weeks ago. I threw everything in the slow cooker, mixed it every so often, and then lunch was ready! All the kids and moms really enjoyed it!
