Spray a 5-6 quart crockpot with non-stick cooking spray.
Rinse the uncooked pasta well in cold water; drain.
Add drained pasta, both milks, cheeses, salt, pepper, mustard, garlic powder and cayenne pepper to crockpot; stir, making sure pasta is submerged in liquid. Top with butter.
Cover; cook on LOW for 1 hour. Stir. Cook on HIGH for another 30-45 minutes.
When done, the pasta should be tender and liquid should be thick and creamy. The sauce will thicken more after lid is removed and mac and cheese sits.
Serve seasoned with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
6-8 servings.
