Macaroni and cheese is one of my favorite comfort foods...and my nana makes it just right. Ingredients:
1 lb elbow macaroni |
3 eggs |
1/2 gallon whole milk |
2 lbs velveeta cheese (shredded) |
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese (shredded) |
13 1/2 ounces evaporated milk |
Directions:
1. Boil macaroni according to package directions (recommend: less time for firmer noodles) and drain well.
2. Pour macaroni into a large (13x18-inch or 13x19-inch) baking pan.
3. Add cheese and mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, combine eggs with a splash of milk. Beat thoroughly, and pour over the macaroni-cheese mixture.
5. Add evaporated milk.
6. Pour whole milk into the pan until the macaroni is completely covered. note: nana performs a spoon test - rest the spoon on the macaroni and if the milk covers the spoon you should have about the right amount.
7. Bake at 400°F for a minimum of 1 hour. Macaroni and cheese is done when you shake the pan and it jiggles like jello.
