Equipment

  • 1 4-quart slow cooker
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups about 8 oz uncooked cavatappi (corkscrew macaroni or rotini pasta)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cups shredded smoked cheddar cheese
  • 1 3 oz package real bacon bits (or 10 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled)
  • 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1 12 oz can evaporated milk
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • Coat the inside of a 4-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Add the pasta, shredded cheeses, bacon, eggs, evaporated milk, whole milk, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to the prepared slow cooker. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is well mixed.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on the High setting for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Stir the mixture twice during this cooking time to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  • Reduce the heat to the “Low” setting and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Check for desired consistency and adjust cooking time if needed.
