Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni (note that an 8-ounce box is not 2-cups, you will need 2 of these)
  • 4 TBSP butter, cut into pieces
  • 2.5 cups of sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 can Cheddar cheese soup (classic 10¾ oz)
  • 1 cup whole milk (I will also use ½ skim or 2% and ½ cup half and half as I often don’t have whole milk o hand)
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. dry mustard (I actually use wet mustard from the squeeze bottle)
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
Instructions
  1. Cook the macaroni to package directions, but on the very al dente side (my rule is 1-minute under the lowest cooking time). Drain.
  2. In a medium saucepan on low heat, combine butter and sharp Cheddar cheese until both have melted and are smooth.
  3. Add all of the ingredients, except the macaroni, to the crockpot, starting with the cheese/butter mixture. Blend until smooth!
  4. Add the macaroni and blend again.
  5. Set the crock pot to low for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  6. Serve warm right from the crockpot and add a sprinkle of cheese on top!
