This is a custard-like macaroni and cheese casserole.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Preparation:

Directions for macaroni and cheese
Cook macaroni according to package directions in boiling salted water; drain and set aside. Combine milk, 3 tablespoons melted butter, flour, salt, pepper, and eggs in a mixing bowl; whisk until smooth and well-blended. Layer half of cooked macaroni in bottom of a shallow, buttered 2-quart baking dish; sprinkle with 2 cups cheese and top with remaining macaroni. Pour milk and egg mixture over macaroni. Toss breadcrumbs with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter; sprinkle bread crumbs over the top of macaroni and cheese mixture. Bake macaroni and cheese at 350°, uncovered, for about 45 to 50 minutes; sprinkle with remaining cheese and continue baking for about 5 minutes longer, or until macaroni and cheese is set.
Macaroni and cheese serves 6.

"This has to be one of the most delicious recipes I have found for mac and cheese. Besides being delicious it is so easy to prepare. I have made this several times and everyone in my family enjoys it. I also make extra and freeze it for later use and that turns out great too. It has just the right consistency that I like too. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I love it."
