My friend used to make this same recipe, but added garlic. Lots of 🧄. It tremendously upgraded this dish. He was our personal chef at work.

Unfortunately no mac and cheese doesn’t freeze well. This makes about 2 cups or so or about 4 1/2 cup portions.

Hi Alex, I haven’t made this with fresh tomatoes, but you would want to use tomato juice and not water. The water would dilute the other flavors and it won’t mis well with the fats in the dish and will split. –Rachel

So im interested in making this but I have to use fresh tomatoes, not can. Bc it calls for the liquid, what kind I do to substitute for it. Would water be ok and if so how much would I need to use?

Hi Terri, mac and cheese in a slow cooker gets really thick and dry and the noodles overcook and go mushy. I don’t like it at all, but some people don’t mind. I totally understand needing oven space for crowds though. 🙂

If so how many hours? I would love to make ahead for a family dinner and not use oven space as I have 10 kids plus their spouses and 31 grandkids and need all the space I can get in my kitchen… plus making ahead a recipe is always a blessing for me. Thanks
Terri
