Ingredients
6 tablespoons salted butter
1 pound macaroni pasta, uncooked
1 (12 ounces) can evaporate milk
1 (8 ounces) package of Velveeta cheese
1 pound shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounces) package of cream cheese, softened
2 1/2 c. cups milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 tablespoon Sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
How to make Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese
Step 1: Cook the macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 6 minutes. When done, strain and rinse the pasta.
Step 2: Using cooking spray, grease the bowl of a slow cooker. Add all the ingredients inside, keeping 1/4 c of shredded sharp cheddar cheese aside. Mix well.
Step 3: Put the lid on and set it to cook for 2 to 3 hours on high, stirring twice as it cooks.
Step 4: Remove the cover and sprinkle with the reserved shredded sharp cheese. Replace the lid and let the cheese melt.
Step 5: Serve the macaroni and cheese right away. Enjoy!
Note:
Make sure not to overcook the pasta as it’ll turn mushy. I suggest starting checking after 2 hours of cooking.
