Ingredients

4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups milk
½ cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prep the Crockpot:
Lightly grease the inside of a 4–6 quart slow cooker.
Add Ingredients:
Add elbow macaroni, shredded cheddar, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Stir everything to combine.
Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 3–4 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the cheese sauce is creamy.
Serve:
Serve hot. Garnish with extra shredded cheese or chopped parsley, if desired.
Notes
Creamier Texture: Add an extra ½ cup of milk if you prefer a looser, creamier sauce.
Cheese Variations: Mix in Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or gruyère for added flavor.
Leftovers: Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
Avoid Overcooking: Stir occasionally and check doneness after 2.5 hours to avoid mushy pasta.
