• 1 cup aged Gouda or Sharp White Cheddar, shredded

For the sauce:

• 6 cups milk
• 2 cups water

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Butter sides of a large crockpot or use a liner to avoid sticking. Set crockpot to a high setting. Layer pasta and cheeses in the crockpot. Whisk together all of your sauce ingredients in a bowl until well-combined. Pour over pasta and cheese. Cover and allow to cook for one hour. Stir pasta and cook for an additional hour. Stir pasta once more and cook for 30 minutes. Serve hot with optional green onions.
