Instructions

Grease the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray or olive oil.
Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In the crockpot, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded chicken, barbecue sauce, cream cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Gently fold in 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the cream cheese is melted.
About 15 minutes before serving, sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese on top. Cover and let it melt.
Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, give it a good stir and serve warm.
