No-Fuss Mac & Cheese

I don't have a picture. I will try to remember to upload one next time I end up making this. This is so tasty if it is cooked for the right amount of time. Last time I made this I ended up keeping my crock pot on "warm" for a while...which caused it to be a bit on the dry side. But, I assure you it really is delicious! (Just watch how long you cook it...of course you want it to be creamy). This is SO much better than the boxed stuff! :) I usually end up doubling it because I always like to have leftovers (saves me time the next day)

2 Cups (8 oz) uncooked elbow macaroni
4 oz light pasteurized processed cheese, cubed
1 Cup (4oz) shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 Cups fat-free milk

Combine macaroni, cheeses, salt and pepper in Slow Cooker. Pour milk over all. Cover; cook on Low 2 - 3 hours (2 works perfect with mine), stirring after 20-30 min.

Makes 6 - 8 servings.

I got this from the recipe book "the BIG cook". My mom makes it everytime the grandchildren are over and they just gobble it up! I have made it at home and the kids still gobble it up, so I know its not just a "gramma's house" thing. Hope you enjoy it!!
