This looked so interesting on Trisha's Southern Kitchen that I had to give it a try - it was easy and delicious! A great way to put together a main course and let it slow cook for three hours, come home, make a green salad and supper is ready! The family loved it - so I tried it with spaghetti - and this worked as well: browned/drained hamburger and onions, 2 jars of marinara, 2 beaten eggs, 1 lbs spaghetti - gently mix and slow cook (on low for 3-1/4 hrs. I don't know why others had problems with the mac/cheese - mine was not greasy nor mushy - perhaps try cooking the pasta a bit more al denti?

This was terrible. I have been laid off so I finally have time in my life to cook for my son, and mac and cheese is his favorite. After following the recipe to the letter and spending a fortune at the grocery store for ingredients, all I got was a greasy mess. I should have read the reviews before I tried it. For those of you who had success with this, I would like to know what your secret was. I have a high end slow cooker, so I don't think it was the equipment. I was tempted to try it again and put it in the oven, but since I have no income, I can't afford to throw away all of that cheese again. If anyone has any suggestions for a recipe that actually works, please post it!!

Not very good. Too cheesy, too much butter, and a stuck together mess! Sorry to say it went into the trash. What a waste of time and ingredients.

The flavor of this Mac and Cheese was very good! But I had the same problem with the curdling. The texture was very unappetizing. I think the problem might be the temperature of my croc pot but I am not sure. I think next time I will cook it in the oven or in the croc pot for less time and add some spice to it with a jalapeno.

Sorry to say horrible, horrible, horrible. The condensed milk taste was terrible, and overwelming. It was a mushy, stuck together no taste mess.

I have been cooking for over 50 years, but I still followed the recipe precisely. It was flavorless. The consistency was like cottage cheese. I opted to try and salvage it for one meal for the sake of waste. I added a little mustard, a little more milk and cheese and some salt & pepper and onion powder, and put it ina conventional oven for 15 minutes. It was still awful. In the future, I will stick with my oven baked mac & cheese.

I too never made Mac n cheese in a crockpot.. So easy! Thought the Mac n cheese was definitely creamy. That being said maybe a bit bland..next time I might add a bit of Tabasco to give it a little something. Do not use shredded cheese in this Mac n cheese or any Mac n cheese recipe for that matter. The stabilizers they put in shredded cheese will result in a gloppy greasy mess. Shredded cheese doesn't have much flavor either.. Costco has a decent 2lb brick of sharp cheddar cheese in their refrigerator section for $ 5 and change. I really think even that cheese may make this bland. Better quality cheese will naturally give a better outcome. But that is even workable with a little Tabasco.

I'm a pretty experienced cook and I don't know how anyone can call this mac and cheese....it was so greasy and separated. Globs of cheese everywhere. Followed recipe exactly because it looked so good on TV. Used a good cheese as well...I don't know, just was gross. This recipe went in the trash.
