- 1/2 cup flour (I use Einkorn)
- 1. Tbs. butter
- 1 tsp. Celtic Sea salt
- 1 tsp dried minced onion

The beauty of making your mac & cheese is you can use the cheese you like. It can be all of one kind or a variety. Often I will use what I have on hand. It always comes out delicious. Be creative; it’s your kitchen and your dish.
Directions:
- Spread the butter on the inside of crock-pot
- Pour in the dried pasta
- In a separate bowl combine the rest of the ingredients
- Whisk to combine
- Pour over dried pasta
- Cook on low for one hour then stir
- Cook an additional two hours stirring every hour
- Depending on your crock-pot it should be done
- If your low is really low cook the first hour on medium or high then lower to low
Other Options:
You could use brown rice pasta and rice flour if you are gluten-free
Add some cooked chicken
Do you love seafood, add some shrimp or lobster pieces
Get crazy and add a variety of chopped vegetables
