This is my grandmother's classic (and easy!) recipe for macaroni and cheese. It looks simple - and it is - but it always gets rave reviews. I've tried others, but I always come back to this! Ingredients:
1/2 lb elbow macaroni |
10 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated |
5 ounces evaporated milk |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
Directions:
1. Cook the macaroni according to the box instructions.
2. After draining the macaroni, stir in the butter or margarine so that it melts in the hot pasta.
3. Add 2/3 of the 5 oz. can of evaporated milk. You want the milk to coat the noodles without having too much milk left over in the pot.
4. Layer the noodles and cheese in a oven-safe dish. The layering is key to the even distribution of cheese! Start with the noodles, then cheese, and repeat; finish with a layer of cheese on top.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
