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.

This is the recipe I have been looking for for years!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe! I didn't use the eggs but iit still turned out great. I have been searching and making many different... Mac & Cheese recipes and they never had the creaminess and cheesiness that I wanted. This is amazing! It's an easy recipe as well. i did add my own touch, I melted butter in a saucepan and added bread crumbs to it to make a crunchy topping. I don't know the measurements, I just eyeball it til it looks like a moist yet crumby mixture. When it's done cooking I just sprinkle it on top. Thanks Paula you have made me a happy girl!!!Read more

I've had better
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I made this mac and cheese for the first time this weekend, and my husband and I felt it was very average. We like my own... recipe better. When I melted the butter and cheddar cheese, it turned into one big glob; it didn't melt properly; I had to really work with it and add other ingredients to get it to "kind of" a sauce. I added some Velveeta to get something to melt, and then I dumped the whole mess over the cooked macaroni in the crock pot. It cooked in less than 2 hours; we felt there were too many eggs in it, also. I won't ever make this again.Read more

delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

i forgot to mix in the sour cream and didn't have dry mustard on hand but it still came out delicious. i didn't want to use a... slow cooker so i opted to use the oven at 350 for 30 min like another suggested and it still tasted great. i was skeptical on using eggs so i just used two and scrambled them with a bit of the butter milk and Cheddar soup and cheese mixture so that it wouldn't cook the egg as soon as i put it in. no more box mac and cheese!Read more

DELICIOUS! Exactly what I was looking for...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been craving some homemade, down south, mac & cheese for a while now. I searched for a recipe and found this... I was... a little skeptical because of the sour cream but OH MY was this EVER amazing. I doubled the recipe size but I only used 1 egg and 1/2 TSP of the salt, mustard and pepper. I also did the cheese soup and stuff a little different. I mixed the butter and shredded cheese and added the beaten egg and milk to that. Stirred it together and added the rest of the ingredients to make the cheese sauce. I sprayed my crock pot with PAM and mixed it with elbow macaroni in the crock pot! Delicious!!!!! Read more
