5-INGREDIENT MACARONI AND CHEESE

I found this recipe on Cooktop Cove a few years ago. I assume it is called 5-ingredient by lumping all cheeses into cheese.  I also noticed in the picture it is garnished with what appears to be bacon bits. I enjoyed the Real Bacon Bits. Tasty!

16 ounces macaroni pasta, cooked according to package directions

16 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cubed

16 ounces Colby cheese, cubed

16 ounces Velveeta, cubed

1 stick of butter, cut into slices

16 ounces milk

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Toss half of the cooked macaroni in the bottom of a slow cooker.  

 

Layer on cubes of cheese and butter, then the rest of the macaroni, followed by more cheese and butter. 

 

Cover and cook for 2 hours on high, or 4 hours on low. Halfway through, stir, add the milk and stir again to combine. Cook until the cheese has completely melted.
