Method

Step-by-Step Instructions for Triple Cheesy Mac and Cheese

Begin by greasing your slow cooker with melted butter or a light spray of non-stick cooking spray.
Now, dump the uncooked pasta directly into the bottom of the slow cooker, followed by layering cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan cheeses.
Pour in enough milk to cover the pasta and cheese mixture, then stir gently and set your slow cooker to LOW for 2 to 3 hours.
Every 45 minutes, stir gently to prevent clumping and ensure even cooking.
After about 2 hours, check the pasta for doneness and adjust the consistency with milk or Parmesan as needed.
