HOW DO YOU MAKE PAULA DEEN’S CROCKPOT MACARONI AND CHEESE?
First, cook the elbow pasta according to the package directions. Do not overcook the pasta. Keep it al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, melt the butter, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese. Do not worry if they don’t completely incorporate and make a homogenous mix. It’s ok if the fat separates a bit.
Add the cheese/butter mix, the cheddar soup, and sour cream to the crockpot. Mix them.
Mix in the cooked pasta, milk, mustard, salt, and paprika. Stir all ingredients together and cook on low for 2 hours.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH MAC AND CHEESE?
I would add protein. Either chicken or beef is the protein of choice in my house. Kids, of course, prefer chicken, so I often make Mustard Fried Chicken Wings or Homemade Chicken Nuggets Recipe.
For a healthier chicken dish, check out How to Make Oven Baked BBQ Chicken Wings or Cilantro Lime Chicken. If they are in the mood for beef, Cracker Barrel Meatloaf Recipe is a great option. They love Easy Tex-Mex Meatballs.
