Ingredients

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (an 8-ounce box isn't quite 2 cups)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stuck) butter, cut into pieces
2 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) grated sharp Cheddar cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Boil the macaroni in a 2 quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mixture and add the eggs, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well. Then add drained macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

Yummy in my Tummy!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I agree Maggie, only add 1 egg. Also instead of a whole can of cream of cheddar, I added 1/2 can of crm. of cheddar and 1/2... can of crm. of mushroom. It gave a extra kick. I have fixed this several times over the last few months and my family loves it!! Esp.my son who is notorious for his picky eating. Also, if you want something a little more substantial I have added several different meats in at the end (right before you serve it) to make it more of a meal. So far I have tried bacon, taco meat (good but not the best), grilled chicken and onions (very good!) and honey roasted ham (leftover from the holidays). Read more

One of the Creamiest!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I did not have any problem with my mac and cheese coming out creamy as stated. One thing I cooked it in a digital crockpot... set for the timeframe stated in the recipe. Mine did not stiffen up like some have stated. Cooked it for the first time last year for Thanksgiving and everyone ate it and loved it. Read more

Rubbish
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I am a huge fan of Paula, but this is a terrible recipe. Why on earth would anyone want to go to so much trouble for... homemade Velveeta? I choose to believe Paula go some bad advice on this one, because cafeteria macaroni and cheese would be a step up... Read more
