GRANDMA'S SOUTHERN MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
• Layer some of the macaroni in a 5-quart baking dish; top with a layer of Cheddar cheese. Continue layering macaroni and Cheddar cheese into the dish, ending with a Cheddar cheese layer.
• Beat milk, eggs, and mustard together in a bowl; pour over macaroni mixture, ensuring milk mixture gets to all of the macaroni.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and just before cheese around the sides gets crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with black pepper.

Steps:

• Cook macaroni until soft.
• Use a large roast-pan or bowl which you would cook casseroles in the oven, and put a thin layer of macaroni upon the bottom, and then spread cheese over that layer, and repeat this layering process until the cheese and macaroni are gone (makes about 3-4 layers each).

• Pour into layered macaroni & cheese, until filled at the top (or until it is gone).
• Sprinkle w/ paprika on top.

KEVIN'S GRANDMA'S MAC

Steps:

• For the pan: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package instructions.
• Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-9-inch baking dish or aluminum pan. Add the cooked pasta.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the sauce: In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and heat until melted. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture smells like popcorn, about 5 minutes. Slowly add the milk, stirring or whisking while adding. Taste and season the pot with salt and pepper. Add the cheese cubes and stir until melted.
• Pour the sauce over the pasta and gently shake the baking dish to settle the sauce in the nooks and crannies. Top with the shredded Cheddar and bake until the corners are brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

GRANDMA'S MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE

Steps:

• Boil the macaroni to your desired firmness.
• While boiling macaroni cut the block cheese into 1/2 inch cubes.
• Cut the butter into dab size pieces.
• Drain macaroni.
• Begin layering dish.
• Kitchen Tip: Layering is the key to this dish for even cheese throughout.
• Order Of Layers
• Layer of macaroni.
• Layer the cheese squares and butter dots on top of the macaroni.
• Approximately 3/4 of the macaroni should be covered.
• Repeat two more times.
• Pour milk into baking dish but not the entire cup at once.
• The milk should cover 3/4 of the mixture. Add the milk and look at the baking dish from the side to decide when to stop.
• Breadcrumbs are optional. If desired sprinkle breadcrumbs on top or make a mixture of breadcrumbs and butter and spread on top.
• Kellogg's Corn Flake Crumbs also work wonderfully.
• Bake at 350° for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Is a safe bet the Mac n Cheese recipe will need to bake at least 30 minutes. Usually 35 -40 minutes if the temperature of your stove is accurate.
• At 30 minutes check.
• You will know the dish is cooked fully when the milk is congealed. If you put a spoon into the mixture and see that the milk is still liquid, the dish is not fully cooked. You can also look into the side of the baking dish to eyeball if the milk is still liquid.
