I made this for the first time yesterday and it was sooo good and easy!  The recipe is from the Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook.
1-1/2 cups skim or low-fat milk (I used whole goat milk)
One 15-ounce can evaporated milk
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
Large pinch freshly ground black pepper
1-1/2 cups shredded cheese
8 ounces elbow macaroni UNCOOKED (about 2 cups)
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Coat the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the milks, egg, salt and pepper in the cooker and whisk until smooth. Add the cheese and macaroni; gently stir to combine well. Sprinkle the Parmesan on the top.
Cover and cook on LOW until the custard is set in the center and the pasta is tender, 3-1/2 to 4 hours. Do not overcook or the sides will dry out and burn.

Candy-this looks really good! I have never seen a recipe for mac-n-cheese in the slow cooker. My sons love mac-n-cheese, I am going to try it this weekend. Thanks for sharing:)!!! Love new recipes.
Blessings,

Ooooo I am definitely making this tomorrow!!! Mac and Cheese is one of my comfort foods, and in the crock pot, it can't get much better than that!
Thanks for sharing Candy!

I have that same cookbok, Candy. It's so great!!! I lend it out to my midwifery clients so they can learn about crock pot cooking with fun recipes. Crockpot, badge of motherhood!

Cathy,
I used a combo of Cheddar and Monterey Jack just because it was what I had on hand.

| Thanks for posting this! I've wanted to make mac & cheese lately, but haven't wanted to deal with making a casserole in hot weather! |
