Make classic mac and cheese even easier with your slow-cooker — and even tastier with the addition of bacon

- 1 pound pasta shells
- 1 10.75-ounce can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 12-ounce can evaporated milk

- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 12 slices cooked bacon
- scallions
Preparation
- Spray a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add the pasta shells.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed Cheddar cheese soup, whole milk, evaporated milk, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder and black pepper. Stir in the shredded Cheddar, shredded Monterey jack, garlic and half the cooked bacon.
- Carefully pour the cheese mixture over the pasta and gently stir until all the pasta is coated.
