The Infamous Mac & Cheese

This recipe comes from my mom and grandma!

2 cups elbow macaroni
1 can evaporated milk
1 egg
1 tbsp butter
3-4 cups sharp cheddar cheese ( depending on how cheesy you like it)
salt and pepper to taste
13x9 baking dish

Preheat oven to 350

Boil water in saucepan and season well with salt.  Add macaroni and cook until al-dente.  Allow macaroni to sit in water off heat after cooking for about 10 mins.  The macaroni will become more plump this way.

Mix evaporated milk and egg in a bowl and beat together.  Then pour in nonstick saucepan over medium heat.  Do not bring to boil yet. Add salt, pepper, and butter now.  Slowly add cheese little at a time and stir constantly.  Cheese will slowly melt into milk and the mixture will become very thick. If you would like your mac and cheese to be creamy do not bring to boil.  For thick mac and cheese (which I think we all like)  bring cheese sauce to a boil only for a minute.  

Drain macaroni and pour into baking dish followed by cheese sauce.  Mix together and top with more cheese.

Bake for about 25-30 mins. Serve and enjoy!
