Mac and Cheese with Cream Cheese (Slow Cooker) + Video image

Mac and cheese with cream cheese is made in a slow cooker with THREE cheeses! Make this recipe for the cheesiest comfort food meal ever!

Provided by Donna Elick

Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 2 hours 10 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound cellentani pasta (also known as cavatappi), uncooked
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced into 1-tbsp pieces
4 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1-oz pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups freshly shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup fresh shredded pepper Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Pour the uncooked pasta onto the bottom of your slow cooker. I love my 6-quart for this recipe.
  • Scatter the butter and cream cheese pieces over the pasta.
  • Sprinkle the salt and cayenne pepper over the top and pour the milk and cream into the slow cooker.
  • Stir to combine everything and smooth the pasta into one even layer coated in sauce.
  • Cover and cook on low for 1 to 2 hours, until the pasta is chewy (not quite crunchy, but very al dente). Your cook time will vary if you use a different pasta, so start with 1 hour and adjust from there.
  • Stir once halfway through the cook time and be sure to smooth the pasta into one layer so it is well coated with the sauce.
  • Once the pasta is ready, sprinkle on the cheddar and pepper Jack cheeses and stir to combine. The cheese will melt into the sauce to create the most luxurious creamy cheese sauce.
  • Cover the mac and cheese and cook for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and it comes together. Stir before serving.
  • I love the flavor in this recipe, but when I am preparing it for a crowd I swap the pepperjack cheese with Colby Jack cheese. It gives it a great flavor but it isn't overly spicy for sensitive palates.
  • The cheese sauce will thicken as it cools. If you plan to hold the mac and cheese in the slow cooker on warm, add extra milk as needed to keep the sauce nice and creamy.
  • Also, if you are going to refrigerate it to eat later, add enough milk to the pasta to thin out the sauce before refrigerating. That way when you pull it out, it will scoop easily and the mac and cheese will warm up perfectly in the microwave or on the stove top. We do this every week and portion it out for easy lunches.

COPYCAT CHICK-FIL-A MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE - TOP SECRET RECIPES



Copycat Chick-fil-A Mac and Cheese Recipe - Top Secret Recipes image

The new Mac & Cheese at Chick-fil-A is baked fresh every day, and the recipe is more complex than you might expect from a fast food chicken chain. According to the official list of ingredients, the formula includes several different kinds of cheese including Parmesan, Romano, and award-winning hard cheese from Wisconsin called BellaVitano. The BellaVitano cheese adds a subtle nuttiness to the mix and all three hard cheeses contribute big umami flavor that nicely complements the blend of white and yellow cheddars. Those five kinds of cheese combine to make a great flavor, but the blend would melt into a greasy mess if it weren’t for the assistance of one more ubiquitous cheese: American. The benefit of American cheese—which makes up for its lack of flavor—is found in the sodium citrate it contains. This natural sodium salt is an emulsifier that keeps the fat in the cheese from separating (and it also happens to be useful in preventing kidney stones!). By first melting several slices of American cheese in the milk we don’t need to make a roux to create a perfectly smooth cheese sauce. As for cooking the macaroni, here’s another secret: don’t follow the directions on the box for al dente pasta, because you don’t want the pasta to be al dente, or slightly tough. You want to cook the elbow macaroni for 20 minutes so that it absorbs as much water as possible. This will ensure that the pasta won’t suck up liquid in the cheese sauce when they are combined, and the sauce will maintain a perfectly creamy consistency.       If you like this copycat Chick-fil-A mac and cheese recipe, click here for more Chick-fil-A clone recipes.

Kardea put her own twist on the recipe by adding cream cheese and sour cream. “It creates a creamier texture and slightly tangy flavor,” she says.
