If your Crock Pot Mac and Cheese is done early, you can turn your slow cooker onto warm. Note: Slow cookers can vary! You may have to slightly adjust the time for your slow cooker. Bake 30 minutes covered and 30 minutes uncovered. Baking in the oven – If you prefer or if you are short on time, you can bake this in the oven (and I have many many times!) Preheat the oven to 350☏.Combine the pasta and sauce ingredients in the crock pot just before cooking. The pasta can be cooked ahead, rinsed, and cooled.
