Macaroni & Cheese

Serving 6 people

1 16oz. box of elbow macaroni noodles
2 cups of milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups of extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Salt & Pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.  Heavily salt the water and add the elbow macaroni and cook about 8 minutes.  Watch the pasta and check after 6 minutes.  You don't want it to overcook.  Once the pasta is cooked through, drain and set aside. 

Butter a casserole dish,  put a layer of macaroni on the bottom of the dish and then sprinkle a layer of cheese.  Take one cup of milk and mix it with one lightly beaten egg. Pour the mixture over the first layer of macaroni and cheese.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then repeat the process.  Add another layer of macaroni, then add the remainder of the cheese.  Mix a cup of milk and the last egg and pour over the top of the macaroni and cheese.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 

Now cut 2 tablespoons of butter into small squares and add to the very top of the casserole.  Cover the macaroni and cheese with aluminum foil.  Put in the oven for 40 minutes.  After 30 minutes remove the foil and let the dish finish cooking. 

Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for about 10 minutes and then serve. 


You should remember that this dish is very flexible when it comes to the cheese.  If you want more cheese then add more cheese.  If you don't want as much cheese then remove the cheese.  Use your best judgment. 

This is generally a family favorite during the holidays so that is even more reason to tell others....

Don't play with my food!
