Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 lb grated yellow sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 lb grated tillamook cheese (or your favorite mild cheddar.)
1 (16 oz) package elbow macaroni
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup light cream
1/2 cup softened butter (you won'tsp be using all of it)
salt & pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°.
Butter a round casserole dish (I use a 6-inch deep x 8-inch straight sided covered casserole dish).
Cook the macaroni according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water.
Grate the cheese and KEEP in separate piles.
Place a cup of the cooked macaroni on bottom of greased casserole dish, salt and pepper *lightly* - (*you will be doing this each layer so careful with the salt*); top with a handful of cheese (it doesn't matter which one you start with - you will be alternating the cheeses); dot the cheese with a little bit of butter - repeat until all the macaroni is used (finish with cheese!).
Top the last layer of cheese with a bit more butter.
Mix together the egg and cream (half-n-half), Pour over the casserole. Place the casserole on a cookie sheet (it has a tendency to bubble over). Cover the casserole for the first 30 minutes. After the first 30 minutes, remove the casserole top and bake for another 20-30 minutes until the cheese on top is melted and nice and crusty.
