boil 1 pound box of elbow noodles until they are al'dente

get the crock pot out and set to high

pour 2 cups of milk, butter and egg and salt and mix it together

now, slowly add the cooked noodles if they are hot as this will temper the egg instead of cooking the egg right away

mix in 3 cups of the cheese, save last 1 cup for top

now cover and cook for 1 hour on high, just as the sides start to get crusty ,turn to keep warm

better than baked macaroni
