Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Cheesy Macaroni.
Step 1
Start by filling a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a lively boil.
Step 2
Once the water is bubbling, toss in the elbow macaroni and let it cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until it’s tender yet still has a delightful bite—this should take about 8 minutes.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the pasta and transfer it to your slow cooker.
Step 4
Next, add a generous pat of butter to the warm pasta and stir until it melts into a creamy goodness.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper to your liking, then sprinkle half of the shredded Cheddar cheese over the top and mix it all together for that cheesy flavor we love.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk and beaten eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Pour this luscious blend into the pasta and give it a good stir to combine everything beautifully.
Step 8
Now, in another bowl, whisk together the whole milk and condensed Cheddar cheese soup until it’s silky smooth.
Step 9
Add this cheesy concoction to the pasta mixture and stir until everything is well incorporated.
Step 10
For the finishing touch, sprinkle the remaining shredded Cheddar cheese on top and, if you’re feeling fancy, add a pinch of paprika for a pop of color and flavor.
Step 11
Cover your slow cooker and set it to Low, letting it work its magic for about 3 hours.
Step 12
Be sure to check in after 2 and a half hours to make sure the edges aren’t browning too much.
Step 13
When it’s ready, serve it hot and enjoy every cheesy, comforting bite!.
