Crock Pot Mac & Cheese
I am gathering recipes/ideas for my LO's 1st birthday party and I'd like to make a macaroni & cheese in the crock pot so it will stay warm throughout the party. Does anyone have a great recipe that they have tried and enjoyed? Bonus if you made it for a crowd and it turned out well. Thanks!!

Crock Pot Mac and Cheese
I've doubled it before with no issues, so tripling it shouldn't be a big deal if you needed that much.
It is a lot of cheese and is super cheesy so you could cut back by 1/2 to 3/4 cup and still have it be really good.
Married / The Cookaholic Wife
1 box of Rotini pasta
2 cups cheddar jack, shredded
2 cups Monterey jack, shredded
Half of a large block of Velveeta
3 cups milk
Garlic salt
Butter ? ? stick (optional)
Bread crumbs, any flavor (optional but highly recommended)
1. Boil a pot of water for the pasta.
2. Cook ? time on box ? usually about 7 minutes.
3. Strain pasta.
4. Place pasta and all ingredients in the crock pot, mixing together.
5. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
6. If you put on low, make sure to check periodically, as it sometimes is done sooner.
7. Approximately 30-45 minutes before the macaroni and cheese is done, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
8. When breadcrumbs are crispy, it is ready.
