Notes

Variations

  • If you want to leave the slow cooker on one setting the entire time, cook on low for 3 hours, cooking on high longer than an hour will cause the sides to crisp
  • If you prefer your bacon crisp wait until serving to stir in the crumbles
  • Sauté chopped jalapeño in the bacon fat for a few minutes and add into the mac before cooking to add a little spice
  • Top with crumbled Ritz cracker crumbs before serving
