Family Fresh Meals: Crockpot Macaroni and Cheese Slow Cooker

I have run across many crockpot recipes that require you to precook the noodles before placing in the slow cooker. I always wondered ...."what would happen if I did this with uncooked noodles?"?
The point of the crockpot is to SAVE time, so why not skip this step! Macaroni and cheese seemed like the perfect test recipe.?
I am happy to report, it worked like a charm!

Here is what you need (serves 8-10)

- 1 box (13.25oz) of?rotini, shell or macaroni pasta
- 4 TB butter
- 4 cups shredded cheese (I used a Colby-Jack blend, but Cheddar would work great too)
- 4 oz cream cheese, at room temperature, cubed
- 1.5 cup of milk
- 12oz evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika

1. In crockpot mix together butter, cream cheese, milk, evaporated milk, sour cream, salt, pepper and paprika. Try to stir out as many lumps as possible.

2. Stir in UNCOOKED noodles.

3. Top with shredded cheese. (DO NOT mix at this point. The cheese will melt and make it's way through the noodles. Cover and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours.
