mac and cheese recipe

[elijahboy]

i would love to know a down south mac and cheese recipe that you have

i love mine baked

my g-ma made some great mac and cheese and my mom cant touch it

so i would love to know your recipes

my ex makes a good mac and cheese but it taste too much like velveeta (kinda gritty or chalky)

I like bigs hunks of cheese and butter in my mouth

Probably not southern, but very easy. This is the way my grandmother made it. I have no real recipe. There are hunks of cheese in it, though.

What you'll need

cooked macaroni noodles
Colby cheese (shredded or cut into chunks, makes no difference)
butter
salt and pepper
milk

Toss hot macaroni noodles in butter, salt, and pepper (as much as you like of each). Then put half of it down into a greased casserole dish. Put a nice layer of cheese down. Then macaroni mixture. Then another layer of cheese. I suppose you could also mix the macaroni and cheese together then throw into the casserole dish. I add a little bit of milk to dish. Bake at 350 degrees until the milk is cooked away. Oh can add crushed potato chips to the top, also. Enjoy!

This is a 1928 recipe; maybe it's similar to what you remember.

Ingredients:
8 ounces elbow macaroni
1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 to 1 cup buttered fresh bread crumbs

Preparation:
Boil macaroni in salted water, following package directions. Drain under running cold water. Cover bottom of a 2-quart baking dish with layer of macaroni, a layer of cheese, bits of butter, salt and pepper.
Continue layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a cheese layer.

Whisk milk and egg together, pour over the top, cover with buttered bread crumbs, and bake in a 350° oven for 25 to 35 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
Serves 4 to 6.
