### Ingredients

– **1 pound elbow macaroni** (or any pasta of your choice)
– **4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese**
– **1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese**
– **1 cup shredded parmesan cheese** (optional, but adds a nice depth of flavor)
– **1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk**
– **2 cups whole milk**
– **1/2 cup butter**, cut into pieces
– **1/2 teaspoon garlic powder**
– **1/2 teaspoon onion powder**
– **1 teaspoon mustard powder** (optional, but it adds a great tangy kick)
– **Salt and pepper**, to taste
– **1/2 cup heavy cream** (for extra creaminess)
– **1 tablespoon cornstarch** (optional, to thicken sauce)
– **1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika** or regular paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

### Instructions

#### 1. **Cook the Pasta**
Start by cooking the pasta in a large pot according to package instructions. Drain the pasta once it’s cooked al dente and set it aside. This step prevents your mac and cheese from becoming too mushy when cooking in the Crockpot.

#### 2. **Prepare the Cheese Sauce**
In a separate bowl, mix together the **evaporated milk**, **whole milk**, **heavy cream**, **butter**, **garlic powder**, **onion powder**, **mustard powder**, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If you want an extra smooth, thick sauce, whisk in **1 tablespoon of cornstarch** (optional). This will help the sauce thicken as it cooks.

3. **Layer the Crockpot**
Once your ingredients are ready, it’s time to layer everything in the Crockpot. Start by adding the cooked pasta to the Crockpot. Then, pour in the milk and cheese mixture. Add the **shredded cheddar**, **mozzarella**, and **parmesan cheese** on top, and give everything a gentle stir to combine.
