Do I need to add in the eggs?

No you do not, if you are worried about the eggs scrambling in the crock pot or slow cooker leave them out.

Will dry pasta cook in a slow cooker?

This depends on how much liquid is in the crock pot that the recipe calls for. I think it is just easier to cook the noodles in a sauce pan prior to making this recipe.

Can you make this the day ahead?

Make ahead by prepping all the noodles and cheese sauce and let it cool down before adding it to a slow cooker. Cover and put in the refrigerator over night. Heat the macorani and cheese 1 to 2 hours in the slow cooker before ready to start serving.

Crockpot Mac and Cheese - Recipe Diaries

Description

Paula Deen's Mac and Cheese recipe is one of my favorite recipes for mac and cheese. When you bite into the mac and cheese you get bites of melted gooey cheddar surrounding creamy cheesy noodles.

1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt

If you are planning on serving this at a party plan on heating the crock pot up 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Adding the eggs isn't necessary but to stop them from scrambling in the crock pot you need to add them into the cheese mixture when its warm and not really hot.
