    This is a very reliable recipe and I use it often on nights where my son has soccer and we come in the house late, cold and hungry. I prepare it as written and it comes out fine. I have also taken this to a church potluck, where it was eaten up in no time, and served it to most of the neighborhood kids.

    I missed the step that said "stirring occasionally" and so i did not stir it at all. The result was it was stuck to the interior of my crock pot in places. Also, it seemed dryish and not creamy even though I followed all the other instructions and added all the other ingredients. I ended up adding a second can of the Cheddar cheese soup and it helped a little, but not much. Next time I will look for a different "Mac and Cheese in the crock pot" recipe. I wonder if the eggs should have been left out as I see now that some others did not add the eggs and they loved the way it turned out.

    Simply delicious! I doubled the recipe which worked out perfect for our party. I made a couple minor changes: did not use eggs, used sharp cheddar and white cheddar, and added chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top of entire dish 15 minutes before serving. The tomatoes were a perfect addition. Everyone loved this dish!!!

    This is the best mac and cheese I have ever made! I decided to change it just a little. In place of the eggs, I used 3 spoons of cottage cheese. I put in 3 cups of shredded sharp cheddar, 6 cups cooked elbows, and only a 1/4 tsp salt. I cooked it in the slow cooked for only 1 hour. It is so cheesy and creamy. Absolutely wonderful!

    I made this for my son who loves mac&cheese and he just about ate the whole thing. It was very good, but next time I will leave out the eggs. I gave this recipe a 4 stars because of the consistency which turned out custard like and we prefer a creamy mac&cheese.

    This recipe is the basis for my twisted Mac n Jack recipe ... Over the ears this has gone to many many many teacher appreciation luncheons ... I use twisty noodles instead of elbow ... Use Pepper Jack cheese for 1 cup and the sharp cheddar for the other 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese .... If the crowd likes it spicy I have substituted nacho cheese soup for the cheddar soup. I have also cooked it in a pan in oven and added baked chicken to the top to serve ...

    This recipe would be a 5-star if I hadn't made it with eggs a few times. 5-star if you omit the eggs. 4-star if you add eggs, because the eggs are not forgiving of time or temperature- they will scramble if your low setting is on the higher side in the crock pot world, or if you let it cook a little longer. I use campanelle or trottole pasta because their nooks and crannies capture and hold the creamy sauce.

    So I didn't read the recipe thoroughly before I started making it, and didn't realize it was a slow cooker recipe! I ended up putting it in the oven and it still came out delicious. I did end up cuting the recipe in half because I didn't need that many servings. I also added a few dashes of hot sauce because the recipe was a little bland.

    This is a great recipe! The only thing that I change is that I add 1 egg instead of 3 and I add a little worcestershire sause to it.
