Creamy Macaroni and Cheese 
Based on 24 reviews
Use your slow cooker to make this creamy version of a classic dish.
Ingredients:
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoon (1/2 stick) butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
3 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cup (about 10-ounces) grated sharp Cheddar cheese
2 cup uncooked elbow macaroni (an 8 ounce box isn’t quite 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Boil the macaroni in a 2 quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mixture and add the sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well. Add eggs. Then add drained macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

This is the BEST macaroni and cheese recipe ever. I've made it several times now--for family, potluck, and company. Every time it is a big hit and there are never any leftovers.

It started out as a fantastic dish, after 1 hour into the cooking in the crockpot (on low) and stirring every 1/2 hour, the dish curdled!!! OH NO. Tasted terrific, but looked bad. What went wrong??

absolutely the best. When we have luncheons or family dinners, I am told what to bring and it's always this.

This is the easiest mac n cheese recipe ever. I make it for all the family functions and it is always the first thing to go. The only thing I changed was to add bacon to the top when it finished. You can not go wrong with this dish.

This is bar none the BEST mac and cheese I've ever had - and I'm a HUGE mac and cheese fan. After reading other reviews on the Food Network site - I cut to one egg, only cooked for an hour and a half, and use a little extra cheese. It is SO delicious. I have made this twice in the last month - if you are a mac and cheese fan, you HAVE to make this. It's SO easy as well.

This is SO yummy and very easy. After reading several reviews on different sites - I only use 1 egg and about 13 ounces of cheese and only leave it in the crock pot for about an 1 and a half and it's ready to go! It is so cheesy and delicious. Made it for the first time a month ago and have already made again.

My sister made this for my daughter's graduation from college party. To say it was a huge hit is an understatement.

This is the best tasting and easiet Mac and Cheese Recipe I've found. I lowered the fat content by using fat free Half and Half instead of whole milk, using fat free sour cream, using egg beaters instead of whole eggs, and using low-fat sharp Cheddar Cheese. I use whole wheat elbow macaroni to up the fiber content. By keeping the the Cheddar Cheese soup, the butter, and by using a fat free half skim milk, cream combination (the FF Half& Half) this is remains a creamy and bursting with flavor recipe. Thank you Paula!

I love this recipe, each time I've made it I've gotten rave reviews. I have made this for office potlucks because it's prepared in a crockpot and is so fresh. Kudos to you Paula.

I made this for a dinner for 25 so I doubled the recipe. The meal was baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, green beans and blueberry muffins. It was a cold and snowy night so I thought comfort food. This was such a hit! The ultimate comfort food! I have made it three times more and the leftovers are yummy too. You can't miss with this one.

Amazing. I made this for a group of 25 with baked chicken, homemade muffins and salad. I thought of comfort food for a night with very low temperatures and snow. It was such a hit. I usually don't use a recipe I haven't made before but this one sounded so good I had to. It didn't let me down, it was fanastic. I'm making it for own family this week. I'm not a fan of macaroni and cheese but this one makes me a believer. It hits the spot with melty cheese and creaminess. You won't be sorry.

Ms. Deen, Your rating numbers should exceed 5 on this one! I first saw your sons make it on Good Morning America last year...when they said it contained sour cream, I was sold! Tried on the "fam" this Thanksgiving...it was a HUGE success; I won't look for another macaroni and cheese recipe! I've talked about it so much everyone wants to try it! If I can successfully make this...ANYBODY can!!! Thank you for making me a "seasoned" cook!!! Love you, Charlotte William aka Heaven
