Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 oz elbow macaroni
  • 3 cups milk
  • 8 oz velveeta cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup salted butter cut into chunks
  • 3 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Cook pasta in boiling water 3 minutes short of being al dente.
    16 oz elbow macaroni
  • Place the cooked macaroni, milk, Velveeta, butter and cheddar cheese into a crockpot. Stir and top with Parmesan cheese.
    3 cups milk, 8 oz velveeta, 1/4 cup salted butter, 3 cups cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • Set heat to Low and cook for 2 to 3 hours. Stir occasionally and check for doneness starting at the 2-hour mark.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • This makes a large batch of mac and cheese! It will easily feed 8 hungry people as a main dish or 12 people as a side dish or party food. It is a great dish for pot lucks!
  • Consider adding 1/2 cup sour cream to add even more creaminess to the dish.
  • Add cooked ham or bacon bits to add flavor and protein when serving as a main dish.
  • Sprinkle the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper just before serving!
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder would be a great addition to the cheese sauce.
  • If you add uncooked pasta to the slow cooker without pre-cooking, give the mixture a good stir every 30 minutes or so and keep a close eye out for doneness!
  • Pre-shredded cheese is easy! For added freshness, consider shredding your own.
