Storage Instructions
Transfer the Cajun Mac and Cheese to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When reheating, sprinkle with a little whole milk first to avoid it drying out. Cover and cook in the microwave, just until warmed through.Notes
You could cook on high also, for just 2 hours, be careful of the edges of the slow cooker though.
I like to keep the pieces of Andouille Sausage nice and small so as not to be too spicy for my kids. You could keep those pieces as slices if you prefer, or bigger pieces.
