Grease the inside of your Crock Pot.
Add uncooked Pasta to the Crock Pot.
In a saucepan, melt Butter over medium heat. Whisk in Flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in Milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until sauce has thickened. Stir in Salt and Pepper.
Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar Cheese until melted and smooth.
Pour Cheese Sauce over Pasta in the Crock Pot. Stir well to combine.
Cover and cook on Low for 2-3 hours, or on High for 1-1.5 hours, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and sauce is bubbly.
