Tips & Alterations

Nothing really gigantic to alter about this one. Other than changing up the types of cheese and spices, this one is as simple as it gets.

I probably added about 1 1/2 tsp. each of salt and pepper, a few shakes of paprika, and a few shakes of krazy salt (It’s a VA seasoning… Mrs. Dash Seasoning would work too).
I used 5 types of cheese in my most recent making of this recipe – sharp cheddar, extra sharp cheddar, gouda, fontina, and a little parmesan. So, about 1 c. each of the first 4 and then just a few shakes of parmesan.
You can use as much or as little cheese as you want. I am a cheese-o-holic. So, I always opt for more cheese. But you can definitely use less if you have a touchy tummy.

The ingredients for success.

My current favorite pasta for ANY version of mac-n-cheese. It just holds the cheesy sauce so well. Perfecto!

Cook the pasta till al dente.

Drain the pasta... isn't it just such a fun shaped pasta?!

Put all the liquid ingredients and seasonings in the crock-pot.

Dump the pasta into the crock-pot.

Next... the cheese! These are the four cheeses I used - sharp cheddar (yellow), extra sharp cheddar (white), gouda (semi-circle), and fontina (wedge). Perfect flavor combination!
