Step 1

Spray a 6 qt slow cooker with cooking spray

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil and boil the macaroni noodles for 4 minutes

Step 3

Drain the macaroni noodles and add them to the crock pot, then stir in the cubed butter until melted

Step 4

Add the fresh grated sharp cheddar cheese, evaporated milk, half and half, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and stir to combine

Step 5

Cook the crock pot mac and cheese on low for 1.5-2 hours. Check to stir 2 or 3 times. Mine was perfect right around 2 hours, but keep an eye on it as some crock pots will run hotter. Check for noodle doneness before serving
