Slow Cooker Mac & Cheese
Ingredients:
- 1 16oz box elbow macaroni
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 12oz can evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter (I used salted)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 pound American Cheese (I used sliced from the deli)
- 1 8oz bag sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded gouda cheese
Directions:
- Cook elbow macaroni until almost done (I’ve cooked mine completely before and it was still just as good)
- Mix whole milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne together in slow cooker
- Melt America, cheddar, and gouda cheese together and mix into the the slow cooker (I added slowly and whisked it together to make sure it stayed smooth)
- Mix in the cooked elbow macaroni, cover, and cook until you are ready to serve
*You can add a little more milk if the sauce feels too thick
