Crockpot Mac-n-Cheese

This recipe comes via our family friend Glenda! I immediately fell in love with this the first time I tried it. Mom made it a few times over the years and I knew as soon I received my crockpot for Christmas it wouldn't take long for me to try it! For our first Wipeout viewing night we had a potluck dinner, and I made this recipe for everyone.


Crockpot Mac & Cheese
8 oz macaroni (I used whole-wheat shells)
1 large can fat free evaporated milk
1 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter
12 oz cheddar cheese
1 beaten egg
1 tsp salt
pepper to taste
paprika, optional (I substituted red pepper flakes)

Cook macaroni for 5 minutes. Drain very well!!! (The noodles were a little too soft for Patrick so next I might only cook the macaroni 4 minutes.)
Spray crock pot with nonstick cooking spray. Mix all ingredients except 1/2 the cheese. Pour into crockpot and top with cheese.
Sprinkle with paprika.
Cook on low for 3 1/2 - 4 hours.

All the ingredients mixed minus half the cheese.

The rest of the cheese and sprinkled with a few red pepper flakes.
