Equipment

  • Slow Cooker or Crock Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces uncooked macaroni noodles
  • 12 ounces Kraft Deluxe American cheese slices cubed
  • 6 ounces Murray macaroni and cheese blend (or substitute 3 ounces gruyere cheese and 3 ounces butterkase cheese)
  • 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 12 ounces evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Additional milk (1-3 cups; optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place the uncooked noodles in the bottom of the crockpot.
  • Bring the milk, evaporated milk, cream, mustard, paprika, salt and black pepper just to the boil (so it is good and hot).
  • Pour over the noodles and stir.
  • Toss the other shredded/cubed cheeses together and cover the noodles.
  • Cover and cook on low for one hour and give it a good stir.
  • Place lid back on and cook on low another 45 minutes or until noodles are tender, adding in additional milk to thin the macaroni to be as loose/creamy as you prefer.
