Crock Pot Spicy Macaroni and Cheese
I love cheesy and easy crock pot recipes. This Crock Pot Spicy Macaroni and Cheese recipe is perfect for anyone who loves a little kick in their macaroni and cheese.
After falling in love with my other Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese recipe I decided to see if I could make a Spicy Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese that was just as good.
Oh yes! Crock Pot Spicy Macaroni and Cheese is just as good if not better than plain cheesy Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese.
So do you call Macaroni and Cheese...... Mac and Cheese? I'm just wondering. I see Mac and Cheese used all over the place but I always use the long form Macaroni and Cheese.
I don't think the shorter Mac and Cheese version does this cheesy and Crock Pot Spicy Macaroni and Cheese recipe justice. Mac and Cheese sounds like something that came out of a cardboard box.

So if you double the recipe then how long do you cook it?

The cooking time will increase by a couple of hours if you double the ingredients. You could semi cook the pasta before adding it to the sow cooker. When I say semi cook I mean bring the pasta water to a boil and cook the pasta for 5 minutes, drain and add the the slow cooker. This is what I do when I make and double my regular Crock Pot Mac and Cheese recipe during the holidays for family get together's. https://flouronmyface.com/crock-pot-macaroni-and-cheese/

Pepper Jack in Macaroni sounds amazing. I love spice, so the idea of adding it is genius. I'd love for you to stop by and link up at our new link party, where we actually make the features! Thanks for sharing! https://uncookiecutter.com/2016/02/pineapple-cake-you-link-it-we-make-it-2/
