Ingredients

16 oz Elbow macaroni pasta

2½ cups Whole milk

12 oz can Evaporated milk

8 oz Cream cheese, softened

3 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Add the uncooked elbow macaroni to your crockpot. Pour in the whole milk and evaporated milk, stirring gently to combine.

  2. Cut the softened cream cheese into small chunks and add to the crockpot. Add the shredded cheddar cheese as well.

  3. Stir all ingredients together until the cheese begins to incorporate, though it does not need to be fully melted at this point.

  4. Cover the crockpot and set to Low heat. Cook for 4 to 5 hours, stirring every 45 minutes to 1 hour to ensure even heating and that the pasta cooks uniformly.

  5. The mac and cheese is ready when the pasta is tender and cooked through, and the cheese sauce is smooth and creamy. Serve warm.
