1 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs

8 ounces Vermont sharp cheddar cheese, sliced thin
1/2 cup bacon bits (optional)

Steps:

  • Slightly beat together egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Melt butter (about 40 sec in the microwave) and then stir so all the solid is mixed well.
  • Mix the butter and Evaporated Milk into the bowl with the egg and milk mixture.
  • Pour drained noodles into the slow cooker or crock pot. Spread evenly.
  • Lightly mix in the cubed Velvetta cheese and Vermont Sharp Cheddar (Cracker Barrel is one brand), leaving some on the top.

  • Spread bacon bits over the top of noodles. Do NOT Stir.
  • Spread the 2 cups of shredded cheese over the top of the mac and cheese. Do NOT Stir.
  • Cook on High for 90 minutes and then stir together to blend the melted cheese. Then another 90 minutes on High or 3 hrs on Low. Do not remove lid until the first 90 minutes has passed so that the mixture sets correctly.
  • Stir well before serving.
