- Stir in the cheddar cheese soup, milk, grated parmesan cheese and black pepper until well combined.
- Place the lid on the crockpot and then turn it on to low and allow it to cook for 1 hour without touching it.
- Stir the mac and cheese well and then replace the lid and allow to cook for another 30-45 minutes before stirring again. Continue cooking, stirring every 20-30 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and creamy and the noodles are cooked through. Depending on your crockpot the total cook time may take anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 hours.
