My beau’s Aunt Sherae’s recipe is perfect to me and I consider myself a mac & cheese connoisseur. I just love it and I hope you do too!
Time: 10 min prep, 30 min cook Serves: 4 entrees/6 sides
Ingredients
- 8 oz. elbow macaroni, cooked al dente in salted water & cooled (I used cavatappi and ran cold water over it to cool quickly.)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 – 1 1/2 cups milk (I used 1 cup)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted & cooled slightly
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 4 cups shredded extra sharp and sharp cheddar (I used sharp only and it was great), 1 cup reserved
- *Be sure to have items cooled properly where specified otherwise you’ll end up starting to cook the eggs and that won’t be good.
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare an 8×8 casserole dish or similar with cooking spray.
- Combine all ingredients (except reserved cup of cheese) in a mixing bowl and stir to incorporate. Pour into casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Transfer to top rack of oven, turn on broiler to 425F and broil for about 2 minutes or until top reaches golden brown crispiness desired.
