CREAMY CROCKPOT MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Spray 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick spray.
• Rinse the uncooked pasta well in cold water and drain.
• Add uncooked pasta to crockpot along with milks, cheeses, salt, pepper, mustard, garlic and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine, making sure macaroni is submerged in liquid as much as possible.
• Dot with cubed butter.
• Cover and cook on low heat for 1 hour. Remove lid and stir. Depending on your slow cooker, your dish could be done at this point or require UP TO 1-2 more hours.
• If not done, continue cooking and checking periodically (ever half hour or so).
• When done, pasta will be tender and liquid will be thick and creamy. Sauce will thicken even more after lid is removed and mac and cheese sits.
