Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your macaroni and cheese gives a tremendous golden crust on top.

  2. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside. You want the pasta to retain a slight firmness to hold up against the creamy cheese sauce.

  3. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to bubble and foam slightly, which indicates it’s reaching that perfect melting point.

  4. Stir in the evaporated milk, regular milk, and garlic salt. This mixture creates a rich, flavorful base that will coat the macaroni tremendously well.

  5. Whisk in the eggs until combined. The eggs will help to bind the sauce together and give it a nice texture.

  6. Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well coated. Make sure every piece of macaroni is enveloped in that tremendous cheesy goodness.

  7. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. A 3-quart dish works perfectly. Spread it out evenly for an even bake.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on it; the visual transformation is wonderful to witness.

  9. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the cheese sauce to thicken up slightly, making it easier to serve while still maintaining that creamy texture.
