Description

There’s something profoundly comforting about a dish of Classic Macaroni and Cheese. It’s more than just food; it’s a vessel of memories, a warm embrace in the form of tender pasta coated in a rich, velvety cheese sauce. This recipe brings you the ultimate comfort food experience, combining the sharpness of cheddar with the stretchy goodness of mozzarella, all baked to perfection to achieve that irresistible golden-brown crust.


Ingredients

Scale

3 cups dry elbow macaroni
4 Tbsp salted butter
2 (370 mL/12 oz) cans evaporated milk
1/3 cup milk of choice
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp garlic salt
4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 tsp paprika


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
Stir in the butter until melted. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, milk, eggs, and garlic salt until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Layer 1/3 of the macaroni in the prepared baking pan, then 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat with the remaining macaroni and cheese mixture.
Pour the milk mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
