Ingredients

Scale
  1. 16 oz elbow macaroni, uncooked
  2. 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  3. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  4. 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
  5. 2 cups whole milk
  6. ½ cup heavy cream
  7. ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  8. ½ tsp salt
  9. ½ tsp black pepper
  10. ½ tsp garlic powder
  11. ½ tsp paprika (optional)
  12. 1 tsp mustard powder (optional, for extra flavor)
  13. 8 oz cream cheese, cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crockpot: Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine ingredients: Add the uncooked macaroni, melted butter, evaporated milk, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and mustard powder (if using) into the crockpot. Stir well.
  3. Add cheese: Mix in 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella, and cubed cream cheese. Stir to distribute evenly.
  4. Cook on low: Cover and cook on low for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Check and stir: After 1 hour, stir the mixture well, making sure the pasta is cooking evenly.
  6. Add more cheese: After 1.5-2 hours, when the pasta is tender, stir in the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Let it melt in for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Stir occasionally to ensure the pasta doesn’t stick and everything is mixed evenly.
  • For a smoother texture, you can add a bit more cream or milk if the mixture is too thick.
  • Customize the cheese selection by adding other favorites like gouda or Monterey Jack for extra flavor.
