CHURCH SUPPER MACARONI AND CHEESE
It seems like there are endless recipe variations on macaroni and cheese; however my family is not a big fan of cheese sauce-based macaroni and cheese. It seems to dilute the cheese flavor. This simple but tasty recipe was given to me at a church supper in Terre Haute; it's old, definitely has German or Jewish (kugel?) roots. The secret is to use a good-quality EXTRA-SHARP Cheddar cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole with butter.
- Dissolve salt in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook macaroni, stirring often, until pasta is tender but still slightly firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse macaroni under cool water, drain, and transfer to a bowl. Stir 1/4 cup softened butter into macaroni and toss a few times to melt butter and coat macaroni.
- Beat eggs in a bowl; whisk evaporated and condensed milks into eggs.
- Spread a layer of macaroni into the bottom of the prepared casserole; sprinkle with a layer of Cheddar cheese. Continue layering macaroni and cheese, ending with a layer of cheese on top. Pour egg-milk mixture over the layers. Use a fork to gently dig into the layers, assuring that the egg-milk mixture flows into all the layers. Sprinkle with paprika.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook bread crumbs in the hot butter, stirring constantly, until fragrant and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle crumb topping over casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is browned and bubbling, about 45 minutes.

[email protected]Not a fan. The macaroni was overcooked and the cheese sauce was bland.

[email protected]This macaroni and cheese was a hit at our church supper! It was creamy, cheesy, and had the perfect amount of crunch from the bread crumbs. I will definitely be making this again.
