Church Supper Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Macaroni and Cheese Recipes. (Church Supper Macaroni and Cheese Recipe). 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.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons salt

2 cups elbow macaroni

¼ cup butter

softened

2 large eggs

1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

½ (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1 ½ pounds extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

Main Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole with butter.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Beat eggs in a bowl; whisk evaporated and condensed milks into eggs.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is browned and bubbling about 45 minutes.
