Samantha Erb
My Velveeta mac and cheese is made all in the crock pot to create a rich and creamy dinner. You don't even need to pre-boil the noodles!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces elbow macaroni or rotini, penne, bowtie pasta
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 stick butter cubed
  • 6 ounces evaporated milk
  • 16 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Spray the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. 
  • Add the pasta, milk, butter, evaporated milk, Velveeta cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and dry mustard to the crock pot.. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients, making sure all of the noodles are damp. 
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook it on low for 1.5 to 2 hours. Stir it a few times throughout the cooking time to keep the Velveeta and butter distributed as it melts. 
  • Test the noodles at 90 minutes, and if they are not al dente, continue to check on them in another 30 minutes.
  • Turn the crock pot off and serve.

Notes

  • Use a small pasta that will cook well in the slow cooker, like elbows, rotini, or shells. If using a larger pasta, cook it prior to adding it to the slow cooker.
  • Spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray or use a Crockpot liner for easier clean-up and so the food won't stick.
  • Cut the Velveeta and butter into small, evenly sized cubes so they melt faster and evenly.
  • Change the crock pot to "keep warm" as soon as it's done cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat leftovers on the stove on low to medium heat, stirring in a little milk to add the creaminess back, or in the microwave in 30-second increments.
