4 Cups Elbow Macaroni

1 (10.5 Ounce) Can Cheddar Cheese Soup, 6 Cups Cheddar Cheese, 2 Cups Gruyere Cheese, 2 Cups Sour Cream, 2 teaspoons Onion Powder, 1 teaspoon Cajun Seasoning, 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
Drop into a lightly greased large slow cooker. Cover, and cook on low for 3 hours.
Serve immediately.

Notes

You could cook on high also, for just 2 hours, be careful of the edges of the slow cooker though.

I like to keep the pieces of Andouille Sausage nice and small so as not to be too spicy for my kids. You could keep those pieces as slices if you prefer, or bigger pieces.
