Old Fashioned Mac and Cheese image

This is an old recipe from Grandma Carr. She got surplus cheese in large blocks and used it to make this dish.

Categories     Pasta

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 block cheese, 8 ounces, grated, (cheddar or colby)
1 can(s) evaporated milk (regular size - not small)
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp butter
1 pkg elbow macaroni (1 pound)
salt and pepper to taste
OPTIONAL:
1/4 c finely crushed soda cracker crumbs or crumbs from toasted bread

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook and drain macaroni. Heat milk, eggs, butter, and cheese in a small saucepan until cheese is melted. Stir together macaroni, cheese mixture and salt and pepper. Pour into a buttered casserole and bake for 20-30 minutes until just beginning to brown.
  • 2. Optional: Grandma often added some finely crushed soda crackers on top of casserole during the last 10 minutes of baking to give the dish a little crunch.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mac and cheese turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much flour.

I added some cooked bacon to my mac and cheese and it was amazing! It's the perfect way to add some extra flavor and protein.
