In reply to Amanda. Thank you so much for trying my recipe, Amanda! I haven't tried putting it in a crock pot, but I would probably skip the baking part if you plan on keeping it in the crock pot for a bit. :)

This is our go to mac and cheese recipe and a family favorite! Is it possible to put this in a crock pot?

In reply to Betsy. Egg makes a lot of sense to me, but without having done it I just don't know for sure how it will turn out.

Thanks, for getting back to me, Sam!
I did try to make the bites – I made your recipe and chilled it overnight (w/o baking it). After pressing the cold mix into a sprayed mini muffin pan, I baked it at 400 for 18’; but they fell apart, when I tried to remove them. I threw it all into a casserole dish, heated it up and it was a hit! Next time, I might add an egg, as a binder, when I try it again. Thoughts?

In reply to Betsy. Hi Betsy! That actually sounds delicious, but I haven't experimented with it to know for sure how it would work. If you do try it I would love to know how it goes.

Was looking for a Mac & cheese bites recipe, and this yummy version popped up! However, how do I make it into cheese balls/bites? Thanks!

In reply to Jen. Hi Jen! Personally I like to cover it and reheat it in the oven, or if I need it quickly the microwave. :)

Hi Sam!

What is the best way to reheat this?

In reply to Sharon. Sam’s spice levels are generally pretty subtle - just enough to add what is needed

Used about 1/2 of the garlic, onion powder, mustard and paprika called but my family loved it. Might try it with the full amount of spices next time but was concerned about overpowering the dish. Even my husband who is not a big mac and cheese fan commented how good it was. Super easy to make. It’s a keeper for our family!

Would adding cream cheese be too much?

Made this tonight, was a big hit and will definitely be making again. Had to substitute gouda for some monetary jack cheese. Great recipe . thank you

Don’t dump the bacon grease. Instead, cook the bacon first, then add the excess grease to the water for cooking the macaroni. It infuses the macaroni with bacon flavor, and nobody will object to that!

MAY I suggest putting the left over bacon drippings in a container and storing in fridge for later use in adding some of the bacon flavor to other foods . Have done this since dinosaurs walked in my yard.
