MY VERY BEST CROCK POT MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook the macaroni firm; very al dente and pour into crock pot.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
• Cover and cook on high 4 hours stirring every 2 hours. I usually find that 4 hours is enough time but like to leave it a bit longer as I love the baked cheese around the edges.
• Salt to taste as the cheese contains salt. I use the higher amount of onion though if you are leery, use the 1/4 cup. Actually I usually just grate 1/2 an onion.
• I have corrected an error in this recipe. I had said 4-6 hours cooking time and I have no clue why! LOL. I have always always only ever cooked this 4 hours!
