Baked Mac and Cheese

Forget that box stuff, making the real deal is easy and tastes soooo much better!! Once you have tried this, I don't think you would want the box stuff anymore.

Like with most of my recipes you can do different things to this one to change the taste. Use different types of cheeses, such as Monterey Jack and Cheddar, add some taco seasonings and browned ground beef for a totally different dish. Use your imagination and have fun with it!!


Baked Mac and cheese

1 16oz box Macaroni
2 - 8 oz Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 quart milk
Seasoned Bread Crumbs

cook mac according to box...but only for about 8 min, as you want it undercooked.

While that is cooking cut up cheese in smallish chunks, spray a three quart baking dish with cooking spray. Makes clean up a breeze!!

drain macaroni

put macaroni in pan, add the quart of milk, add cheese, salt and pepper to taste, mix well

Put in oven at 350, cook for about 15 min....carefully put a thin layer of bread crumbs over mixture cook for about another 45 min...top should be golden brown and inside should not be runny.
