Ingredients

  • 16 oz elbow macaroni noodles
  • 12 oz evaporated milk
  • 1 ½ cups half and half
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 16 oz sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup butter cubed

Instructions

  • Spray a 6 qt slow cooker with cooking spray
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and boil the macaroni noodles for 4 minutes
  • Drain the macaroni noodles and add them to the crock pot, then stir in the cubed butter until melted
  • Add the fresh grated sharp cheddar cheese, evaporated milk, half and half, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and stir to combine
  • Cook the crock pot mac and cheese on low for 1.5-2 hours. Check to stir 2 or 3 times. Mine was perfect right around 2 hours, but keep an eye on it as some crock pots will run hotter. Check for noodle doneness before serving
