Try this (I haven't):

16 oz. package macaroni, cooked
2 16 oz. packages of cheese (Cheddar extra Sharp)
2 cans evaporated milk
3 cups water
6 eggs, beaten
2 sticks butter (1/2 cup)
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

To macaroni, add butter, salt, pepper and milk; mix well. Add water; stir in
eggs and cheese. Put mixture in crock pot. Do not stir again. Cook 1 hour on
low, then 1 hour on high until pasta is just cooked through.
