Cooking the pasta directly in the slow cooker is such a genius hack—it saves so much time and extra dishes! The addition of fire-roasted tomatoes and green chilies gives this queso mac and cheese a wonderful flavor twist. Since I run a food blog, I love looking at how different restaurants price and style their comfort sides, and I actually just wrapped up a guide on this platform https://chickensaladchickmenu.us/ that features another amazing Southern-style cheesy mac side.
