I made this crockpot Mac ‘n Cheese last night for a New Year’s Eve party and everyone loved it! Since I had so many compliments, I wanted to share it with you here. I adapted a recipe from the Budget Savvy Diva’s Crock Pot Macaroni and Cheese Recipe. She has great tips and recipes that help you save money. Check out my Foodie Pinterest board for more recipes.

Ingredients
10 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (or any tubular noodle)
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup olive oil
5 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 egg white
1 cup light sour cream
1 (10 ¾ ounce) can condensed cheddar cheese soup (I used Campbell’s)
1 (10 ¾ ounce) can condensed nacho cheese soup (I used Campbell’s)
2 cups fat-free milk
½ teaspoon chipotle mustard
4 tablespoons black pepper (we LOVE pepper)
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon Cayenne
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon Lawry’s or Johnny’s Seasoning Salt
Directions
- Cover the 10 cups of noodles with water in a large pot. Cook for 12-15 minutes. With this much pasta it probably won’t be boiling and the noodles will be al dente.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan melt butter, olive oil, and cheese together. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
- Drain pasta and dump in the crockpot.
- Pour cheese mixture over noodles. Add the rest of your ingredients and mix well.
- Cook on low for 3 hours until noodles are cooked the way you like them. Stir every hour so the noodles don’t burn on the bottom.
- Garnish with cheddar cheese and fresh-ground pepper.
- Enjoy!
