Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese
Ingredients:
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (or medium cheddar if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (I used 1%)
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Boil the elbow macaroni in water for five to six minutes, drain and set aside. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Heat over medium-high heat and stir until the cheese melts. Watch it carefully. You want these ingredients to just melt, not cook! Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Combine cheese mixture, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper in your slow cooker. Add the drained macaroni and stir again. Cook on low for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally (I cooked mine for about 2 hours, checked it three times and stirred it twice and it was perfect).
Stir, serve and enjoy!
