Spinach and Artichoke Mac n Cheese Recipe

Slow cooker (affiliate) recipes are quite comforting in the winter months, don't you agree? It keeps you warm on cold, short days. However, I found many mac n' cheese recipes, especially the ones in the slow cookers (affiliate), had very little flavoring. While some people may like that, my goal was to infuse flavor into the slow cooker (affiliate) dish. Here's what I came up with, and it was a massive hit in my home. I hope you like it and try it.
