Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb elbow macaroni
4 tbsp butter
1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
2 cups skim milk
1 cup velveeta cheese, cut into small cubes
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups frozen peas
1/4 tsp seasoning salt (optional)
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a deep 2 1/2-quart casserole.
Bring the large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the elbow macaroni, and cook until the macaroni is just tender, about 7 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well. Return to the cooking pot.
In a small saucepan, melt four tablespoons of the butter. Stir into the macaroni. In a large bowl, mix the shredded cheeses. To the macaroni, add the milk, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese, the cubed Velveeta, the eggs and the frozen peas. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Transfer to the casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
Bake until it's bubbling around the edges, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.
