Number of Servings:

Ingredients:

  1. 5 cups - Elbow Macaroni uncooked [approx. 1 1/2 lbs]
  2. 1 - stick of salted butter
  3. 5 cups - of grated sharp cheddar cheese (plus a little bit extra for the top)
  4. 2 - egg yolks
  5. 1 - cup sour cream
  6. 2 - (10 3/4-ounce) cans condensed Cheddar cheese soup (I use Campbells)
  7. 1 - cup of milk
  8. 1/8 - teaspoon black pepper
  9. 1 - teaspoon of Dijon mustard
  10. 2 - shakes of Tabasco sauce
  11. 1/8 teaspoons - nutmeg (optional, but I always include it)

Directions:

(1) Turn the crock pot onto low and combine all of the ingredients in the crock pot except the noodles. Mix together well.

(2) Cook the macaroni on your stovetop in a saucepan in boiling water for 6 minutes.

(3) Drain the macaroni and add it to the crock pot. Do this slowly a little bit at a time and then stir (so you temper the egg yolks and don\'t scramble them).

(4) Let cook for 20 minutes on low for the butter and cheese to melt and then stir again. Continue cooking on low for an additional 1 hour and 40 minutes = a total 2 hours a cook time.

(5) Top the mac and cheese with a bit of additional cheddar the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
