Creamy Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese

Yummy!! Free up your oven and cook this classic dish in your crock pot! I made this is my taller older, 4 qt. crock pot rather than my new larger oval shaped one that tends to run hot. This could also be baked in the oven if necessary.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 45 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1  lb macaroni
• 4  tablespoons butter
• 2 1⁄2 cups  shredded cheddar cheese (I use combination of freshly shredded medium cheddar and extra sharp cheddar)
• 10 1⁄2 ounces  cheddar cheese soup, undiluted
• 12  ounces evaporated milk
• 1⁄4 cup sour cream
• 2  eggs, beaten (optional)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon white pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon mustard powder (optional)

Directions

1. Cook macaroni 4-6 minutes, keeping macaroni very al dente. Drain. Toss hot pasta with butter.
2. In a greased crock pot, add cheese, soup, milk, sour cream, eggs, salt, pepper and mustard powder. Mix to combine.
3. Add pasta to crock pot. Stir to combine well.
4. Cook on low 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. (Careful because when I cooked mine 30 min too long, it started to become grainy!).
