Ingredients for All Day Macaroni And Cheese

  • Elbow Macaroni
  • 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Sharp Cheddar Cheese

How to Make All Day Macaroni And Cheese

  1. Grease a 3 1/2-quart or larger slow cooker.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, whole milk, eggs, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the cooked macaroni and 3 cups of the shredded cheese to the milk mixture. Stir until well combined.
  6. Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into the greased slow cooker.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 3 cups of cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, or until the macaroni and cheese is bubbly, heated through, and the cheese is melted and slightly browned on top. If using high setting, stir halfway through cooking time to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  9. Let stand for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
