Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound uncooked pasta such as small shell pasta, elbow macaroni pasta, or penne pasta
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
  • 2 ounces cream cheese cubed
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cups milk whole or 2%
  • 12 ounce can evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon granulated onion
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Place the pasta, Velveeta cheese, cream cheese and Parmesan into a greased 6-qt slow cooker.
    1 pound uncooked pasta, 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, 2 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Add the milk, evaporated milk, mustard, paprika, and granulated onion.
    4 cups milk, 12 ounce can evaporated milk, 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon granulated onion
  • Use a large silicone spoonula or wooden spoon to combine all the ingredients, making sure most of the pasta is submerged in the liquids as much as possible.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for approx. 2 hours hours, gently stirring half way through. Begin check the tenderness of the pasta after 1 1/2 hours of cooking time since crockpots vary in how fast they cook.
  • Uncover the slow cooker and add the shredded cheddar cheese, gently folding it in until it is nicely melted. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk, 1/4 cup at a time, as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then serve at once.
    2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Notes

Recipe Tips

You may substitute gluten-free pasta for regular pasta in this recipe. The cooking time will vary and you'll likely need to cook the gluten-free pasta 15-30 minutes longer to get tender. Just be aware that using gluten-free pasta will bring not only a different flavor to this dish, but also a different texture.
This recipe can be doubled if you are cooking with a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. The cooking time stays the same.
