Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 16 oz. American cheese cut into pieces*
  • 8 oz. cream cheese
  • 16 oz. salsa any kind
  • 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 16 oz. uncooked pasta

Instructions

  • First, spray the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Then, whisk cornstarch into the milk until it dissolves. Pour into the slow cooker and then add the rest of the ingredients. 
  • Mix everything together and then cover the slow cooker.
  • Cook on low for 1.5 to 2 hours stirring every 15-30 minutes to be sure the edges don’t burn. We recommend NOT cooking this on high as it can easily burn.
  • When there is about 15 minutes left of cook time bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the pasta to the boiling water. 
  • Add the pasta to the water and then cook until the pasta is al dente. 
  • Strain the water from the pasta and set the pasta aside. 
  • Finally, when all the cheese is melted and smooth, stir and turn the slow cooker to warm. 
  • Add the pasta to the slow cooker and stir until all of the pasta is covered in the queso.
