Cook macaroni according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In the crockpot, combine butter, cheddar cheese, eggs, sour cream, cheese soup, heavy cream, and milk.
Add the cooked macaroni, dry mustard, salt, and pepper to the crockpot. Stir everything together until well combined.
