Easy Excellent Mac and Cheese


From a very fun and useful site...A year of slow-cooking
2/3 pound uncooked macaroni or hearty pasta
4 cups of milk
2 eggs
4 cups shredded cheese (I used all cheddar)
salt & black pepper
1 tsp dried mustard
non-stick spray


Directions: Spray crock well with cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, whip egg and milk together. Stir in spices.Add cheese and noodles, and stir well to combine. Pour the mixture into the crockpot. It will be very liquidy. Cover and cook on low for 2-5 hours, or on high for 1-3. The cooking time will vary depending on what size crockpot you are using, and how quickly it heats and cooks.
