- In a slow cooker, combine the evaporated milk, Dijon mustard and garlic powder.
- Add the milk and macaroni. Season with salt and pepper and stir.
- Mix together the shredded cheese and cornstarch, then sprinkle over the macaroni. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to obtain a rich and creamy sauce. Let rest for 15 minutes and stir before serving.
