The Best Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese
Prep : 10 mins ; Cook 90 mins
Ingredients
  • 2 ½ cups uncooked dry Gluten-Free Cavatappi pasta , Gluten-Free  Cellentani is also a good choice.  Elbow macaroni is not ideal for this recipe, but if it's your only option, adjust the liquid depending on how hot your slow cooker runs. For a grain-free option, we love these ones from  Jovial. Use regular Cavatappi pasta or Cellentani if not gluten-free or grain-free.
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter , cubed. Sub with vegan butter for dairy-free. We like  Miyokos.
  • 10 oz condensed cheddar cheese soup (not gluten-free) , sub with cashew queso (homemade or Siete) for a true gluten-free and dairy-free mac and cheese version
  • 1 ½ cups half and half or ¾ cup whole milk and ¾ cup heavy cream (plus more to thin out as needed). Sub with unsweetened plant-based creamer for dairy-free. We like  Nutpods.
  • 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese , plus extra ½ cup reserved for topping. Use vegan cheddar for dairy-free. We like  Violife Cheddar.
  • 4 oz shredded Mozzarella cheese or Monterey Jack. Use vegan cheddar for dairy-free. We like  Violife Mozzarella.
  • ½ cup sour cream , use  vegan sour cream or coconut cream for dairy-free.
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper or more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon dry ground mustard
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 oz evaporated milk (plus more as needed if the mixture is too thick). Sub with unsweetened creamy plant-based milk for dairy-free. We like  Malk Organics.
  • 2 slices Provolone cheese optional - for extra gooeyness. Use vegan Provolone for dairy-free - we like  Violife
  • chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • Toasted gluten-free panko crumbs OR crushed pork rinds or grain-free bread crumbs for garnish (optional)
