Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni

  • ½ cup butter

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (16 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

  • 1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk

  • 2 eggs, well beaten

  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup (such as Campbell's®)

  • 1 pinch paprika, or as desired (Optional)

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in macaroni and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and transfer pasta to a slow cooker.

  2. Add butter to pasta and stir until melted; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle about 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese over pasta and stir.

  3. Whisk evaporated milk and eggs together in a bowl until smooth; stir into pasta mixture.

Tips

Some slow cookers take less time. Check the edges are not getting too brown after 2 1/2 hours.

To bake in a conventional oven, pour pasta mixture into a casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
