Slow Cooker Velveeta Mac and Cheese

To be honest folks, I've tried a few different Mac and Cheese recipes in the slow cooker and have to say, I've been disappointed. Some called for canned soup and some wasted perfectly good sharp cheddar cheese... I was left with soggy noodles, burnt cheese and an awful mess to clean up... But if you're looking for a nice easy, fairly foolproof recipe, ~and~ if there's room in your diet for Velveeta, this Slow Cooker Velveeta Mac and Cheese from Kraft worked out well! Nothing fancy or gourmet, but creamy comfort food on a cold day for sure:@)

Now, I'm far from a slow cooker expert, but it seems the key is to know how yours cooks. Mine runs hot. So I made a half batch and chose to cook it on high for 2 hours, stirring twice at 45 minutes. I also added paper towels under the lid to collect condensation.
