For the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese … about how many people would you say thatnserves? I need to make enough for about 20 people?
I would say it serves about 8 people, but you could either increase the recipe in a larger slow cooker, or have multiple slow cookers running at the same time. Hope that helps!
