Equipment

  • 1 stock pot
  • 1 slow cooker
  • 1 cheese grater

Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 ounce package spiral pasta
  • 2 ¼ cups milk (I use 1%, but any milk is fine)
  • cup sour cream
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 4 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Add to slow cooker along with milk, sour cream and melted butter. Stir well to combine.
  • Add shredded cheese and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 2 ½ to 3 hours, until cheese is melted. Stir well to create a cheesy creamy sauce.
  • Serve topped with extra shredded cheese, a bit of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.  Reheat in the microwave or saucepan with a splash of milk.
