Ingredients

  • 1 pound uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 2 12oz cans evaporated milk
  • 4 cups freshly shredded cheese blend of cheddar, monterey jack, or your favorite
  • 4 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes (optional, but adds some nice creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups boiling water

Instructions
 

  • To a 6 quart slow cooker, add the noodles, evaporated milk, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir well, then scatter the cream cheese over the top. Pour in the boiling water.
  • Cover, and cook on low heat for 1 ½-2 hours, stirring once around the 1 hour mark, until the pasta is tender and the cheeses have melted. The sauce will thicken as it sits.
  • Stir before serving.
