Slow-Cooker Mac and Cheese

Tonight I was feeling like making the ultimate comfort food: Mac and cheese.....in the slow cooker.  This was absolute heaven.

CAUTION: Clearly this is not the greatest thing to be eating if you are watching your weight...unless you can tweak it a bit to make it less...well...fatty, cheesy, and greasy, while still maintaining the incredibly high deliciousness factor ;)

You will need the following ingredients:

- Olive oil or cooking spray, such as Pam
- 1 1/2 cups of milk
- 1- 12 oz can of evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (or margarine), melted and cooled to room temperature
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups shredded Italian blend cheese -- I used the Kraft Italian blend.
- 1 pound of elbow macaroni, partially cooked (I boiled it for 5 minutes so it was just slightly tender, but not completely cooked)
- Black pepper, to your own taste
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese -- I actually used a blend of grated parmesan, romano and asiago.

Note*** You will need at least a 4 quart slow cooker; anything smaller and you will need to cut the recipe by half.

Step 1 Prepare the Slow-Cooker

Grease the inside of the slow-cooker with the olive oil or cooking spray.
