Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (450g) cooked elbow macaroni (cooked al dente)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 2 1/2 cups milk (such as 2%)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese
- 8 ounces (one brick) cream cheese
Instructions:
- Cook Elbow Macaroni:
- Start by cooking the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions. It’s important to cook it al dente (firm to the bite) since it will continue cooking in the crockpot.
- Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot:
- In your crockpot, combine the cooked and drained elbow macaroni with black pepper, butter, evaporated milk, 2% milk, freshly shredded cheddar cheese, Velveeta cheese, and cream cheese. Make sure the cream cheese and Velveeta are cut into smaller pieces for even melting.
- Mix Well:
- Stir all the ingredients together in the crockpot until they are well combined.
- Cook in the Crockpot:
- Cover the crockpot and cook the mac and cheese mixture on low for 2-4 hours. The cooking time can vary depending on your specific crockpot, so it’s essential to check for doneness. You want everything to be melted and creamy.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the mac and cheese is done, serve it hot. It should be rich, creamy, and incredibly cheesy.
