My Great Aunt Electa made a baked macaroni and cheese with eggs that was absolutely delightful. This dish was a favorite of my sister and I growing up. Due to a combination of business, laziness, and fondness for my slow cooker, I decided to adapt this Mac and Cheese with Egg recipe for the slow cooker. My Aunt Electa’s will always be the best, but this is really good and so super easy.

Dry macaroni gets boiled with a pinch of salt before anything else is done. Once they are boiled according to package directions, strain out the water, and pour the macaroni into the slow cooker. I used a triple slow cooker with only 2 – 2 1/2 quart inserts so you may want to double or triple this recipe for a larger slow cooker.
In a mixing bowl, I gave the large eggs a quick stir then added milk, shredded cheddar, black pepper, and salt. All of it was mixed thoroughly then poured on top of the macaroni in the slow cooker. I gave the macaroni and mixture another quick stir in the slow cooker to make sure it was thoroughly combined and the cheese is nicely distributed. The lid is returned to the slow cooker, and the slow cooker was set to the low setting for about 3-4 hours.

If you’re wondering why I chose to use my triple slow cooker for this recipe, well, I had Blueberry Cobbler in the others while sloppy joes were cooking in my much larger Ninja cooking system.
