During one of my visits to YouTube Space LA, I teamed up with the talented Beth Aweau of CookingandCrafting to make a rice cooker mac and cheese recipe.

For this rice cooker mac and cheese, we used a mixture of gourmet cheeses. I’m using blue cheese, but you can use whatever sounds good to you.

After placing the pasta and broth into the rice cooker close the lid and cook on the brown rice setting. When the rice is done, turn to the warm setting and add the cheese, cream and other ingredients.
Stir with paddle. Close lid and allow a few minutes for cheese to melt through and heat up, around 10 minutes.
