Instructions

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or butter.
Add uncooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese, melted butter, and seasonings to the slow cooker.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2½ hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
When the pasta is tender and the cheese is melted and creamy, switch to “warm” until ready to serve.

Stir again before serving and enjoy!

Notes

For extra creaminess, you can add an additional ½ cup of shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese.
Avoid overcooking—macaroni can get mushy if left too long.
Great with a sprinkle of paprika or a dash of hot sauce on top!
