Slow Cooker Spicy Mac n’ Cheese

Slow Cooker Spicy Mac n’ Cheese is a super delicious, spicier version of the classic mac n’ cheese. This spicier version is made with the usual cast of characters; elbow macaroni, butter, eggs and evaporated milk but the list ends there. This spicier version is made with fiesta nacho cheese soup, taco-style shredded cheese and Mexican Velveeta cheese. A splash of hot sauce on the top before serving is optional but so worth it.

Croutons

For an added layer of flavor, we like to top our serving of slow cooker spicy mac n’ cheese with garlic-cheese flavored croutons. They added crunch provided by the croutons is a delicious and unexpected flavor boost. We like to top bowls of tomato soup with croutons also. After all, croutons aren’t just for topping a salad. Soups and stews benefit from the addition of croutons and we’ve even used crushed croutons as a breading for mushrooms.

Speaking of crouton coated mushrooms, here’s the recipe. Beer Battered Crouton Coated Mushrooms.
