Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 16 oz elbow macaroni (uncooked)
  • 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

Prep the Crockpot:

  • Grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or cooking spray.

2️⃣ Add the Ingredients:

  • Add the uncooked macaroni, shredded cheeses, whole milk, evaporated milk, melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dry mustard (if using).
  • Stir everything to combine.

3️⃣ Cook Low & Slow:

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the pasta is tender and the cheese is melted into a creamy sauce, it’s ready!

Notes

  • Don’t cook on HIGH—macaroni can overcook quickly!
  • Want extra creaminess? Stir in ½ cup sour cream or cream cheese at the end.
  • For a baked finish, transfer to a baking dish, top with breadcrumbs, and broil for a few minutes.
