Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni uncooked
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 0.5 cups sour cream
  • 10.75 ounces condensed cheddar cheese soup 1 can
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 0.5 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Crock Pot
  • Saucepan
  • Box Grater
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Large Pot
  • Can opener
  • Nonstick spray

Method
 

  1. Spray Crock Pot with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a saucepan, par boil the macaroni in water for six minutes, drain and rinse with cold water. You don't want to over cook this!
  3. Mix butter and cheese over medium high heat in a saucepan. Stir until it melts.
  4. In your Crock Pot, combine the cheese mixture, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper. Add cooked macaroni. Stir to combine mixture.
  5. Cook in Crock Pot for 2 to 2 ½ hours on low, stirring occasionally. Just until it's hot. If you let it cook too long the noodles will turn to mush!

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze this mac and cheese! Just ensure it’s in a freezer-safe container. It should keep well for up to two months.
  • Tip 3: Serve this dish with a simple side salad or steamed broccoli for a well-rounded meal.
  • Tip 4: For those who love a little heat, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the mixture.
  • Tip 5: Try adding different toppings like breadcrumbs, or Parmesan cheese for a crunchy topping before serving.
