5th Step

Cover the crockpot and place it on low heat. Mac ‘n’ cheese has to simmer for at least two hours, and stirring every so often will keep the cheese from burning to the pan.

6th Step

After the first cooking time, test the mac and cheese to see whether it’s the right consistency. You may thin it out by adding additional milk and stirring it in if it becomes too thick. Leave the lid off and continue cooking for another 15-30 minutes if the consistency is too thin.

7th Step

When the macaroni and cheese have achieved the right consistency, give it one more toss and a taste to check for salt and pepper. If necessary, season with more salt and pepper.
