Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large 4-quart slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray, mix the macaroni, evaporated milk, milk, butter, salt, pepper, eggs and all but 1/2 cup of the grated cheese. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top of the mixture and then sprinkle with paprika. Cover and cook on low heat for 3 hours and 15 minutes. Turn off the slow cooker, stir the mixture and serve hot.

Cook’s Note

If you don't have a slow cooker, grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch pan with butter, add the mixture and bake at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes.

Recipe Review Highlights

Generated by AI using recent reviews for this recipe.

Many people rave about the creamy, rich texture and taste of this macaroni and cheese. It is considered a custard consistency, which some may prefer over a traditional creamy version. The cheese is said to be more flavorful when using sharp cheddar and when the eggs are incorporated.

Several people made substitutions, such as using sharp cheddar instead of just cheddar, adding American cheese to help with creaminess, and omitting the eggs for a smoother texture. Others used different types of pasta and cheese blends, including spiral noodles and a mix of Monterey Jack and cheddar.

This recipe is often used for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and other holiday gatherings, as well as for potlucks and parties. Some people have made it for large events and found it to be a hit.
