Servings: 8 servings Calories: 652kcal Prep 5 minutes Cooking 2 hours Total Time 2 hours 5 minutes
Pin Recipe Share on Facebook Ingredients US CustomaryMetric1x2x3x▢ 1 pound elbow macaroni (uncooked)▢ 2 ½ cups milk (whole milk is best)▢ 12 ounces evaporated milk▢ 4 oz cream cheese (up to 8 ounces for extra creamy mac and cheese)▢ 3 cups sharp cheddar (freshly shredded, not pre-packaged shredded)▢ 1 cup American cheese (freshly shredded, not processed slices- or Monterrey cheese.)▢ 1 teaspoon salt▢ ¼ teaspoon black pepper▢ ¼ teaspoon onion powder▢ ¼ tsp garlic powder▢ ¼ cup butter (cut into cubes)
InstructionsSpray your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Rinse the uncooked macaroni noodles under cool water and drain. 1 pound elbow macaroniPlace the uncooked pasta in your crockpot. Then, add milk, evaporated milk, all cheeses (cream cheese, cheddar, and American), and seasonings (salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder). Stir to combine.2 ½ cups milk, 12 ounces evaporated milk, 4 oz cream cheese, 3 cups sharp cheddar, 1 cup American cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon garlic powderMake sure macaroni noodles are as submerged in liquid as possible. Spread cubes of butter over the top of everything. ¼ cup butterReplace the lid to your crockpot and cook on low for 1 hour. Then, remove the lid and stir. Check pasta for doneness, depending on your crockpot it may take 1-2 more hours. If not done, continue cooking and check a piece of pasta for doneness every 30 minutes. Mac and cheese is done when the pasta is tender and the cheese sauce is thick and creamy. Serve immediately. Equipment You May Needcrock pot (slow cooker)colanderWooden Spoon Notes For best results, rinse the pasta under cool running water until the water runs clear and no longer has a milky appearance. Using freshly shredded cheese is essential in getting creamy macaroni and cheese! The pre-shredded packaged cheese is coated in preservatives to keep it from sticking together or melting properly. The age, make, and model of your crockpot can affect the cooking time. So, it is normal for cooking time to vary some. The easiest way to find fresh American cheese is to ask for it from the deli counter at your local grocery store! Your cheese sauce will thicken up if you remove the lid and let it set for 10-15 minutes before serving. You may leave your crockpot on warm for up to 2 hours for easy serving. Store leftovers in a shallow, airtight container. Mac and cheese will last for up to 3-5 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave in short 30-second intervals, stirring between. Add more milk as needed. Or heat over low on the stovetop in a small saucepan.
