Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (450g) elbow macaroni, cooked al dente
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 2 1/2 cups milk (2%)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
- 8 ounces Velveeta, cubed
- 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
Instructions:
- Cook the elbow macaroni al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
- In the crockpot, combine the cooked elbow macaroni, melted butter, black pepper, evaporated milk, 2% milk, cheddar cheese, Velveeta, and cream cheese.
- Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution.
- Set the crockpot to low heat and cook for 2-4 hours, or until all the cheeses are melted and the mixture becomes creamy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- If you diced the cheeses, the cooking time may be shorter, as mentioned in the original recipe.
- Once everything is melted and the consistency is smooth, serve the deliciously creamy mac and cheese.
- Optional: Garnish with additional shredded cheddar cheese or a sprinkle of black pepper for extra flavor.
