Three Cheese Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese

I love easy recipes for the slow cooker. There is almost no prep work involved in most recipes, the slow cooker literally does all of the work.

It’s  perfect for a simple dinner on a busy night or great for an easy lunch. This recipe only takes a couple of hours to cook, so if you started this after breakfast it would be ready once lunch time rolls around.

This recipe is all about fun and interesting seasonings and using three (not one!) cheeses. The result had great flavor, the sauce was a thicker custard consistency and the macaroni was cooked perfectly. All in all, an easy recipe for classic comfort food!

Three Cheese Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese

• 2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked (I used Barilla multi-grain)
• 2 cups milk (I used 1%)
• 1 (12 oz) can evaporated skim milk
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp ground mustard
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Pour macaroni into your slow cooker

In a mixing bowl, whisk together milks, egg and seasonings.

Stir in cheeses.

Pour mixture over macaroni and stir to combine.

Cook on low for 2 to 3 hours. I checked mine at 2 hours and it didn’t look quite done.

I gave it a stir and let it cook for another 30 minutes.

Serve immediately.

ENJOY!
