Southern Mac & Cheese
- 1 lb. elbow macaroni
- 5 bags of grated cheese (cheddar, Colby, pepperjack, mozzarella, Beechers (optional)
- 1-1/2 cans of evaporated milk (can use lowfat milk)
- 5 eggs
- 1/2 cup of water
- A few pinches of salt and pepper (I like using cayenne pepper for a little kick)
Mix ingredients and spread evenly with elbow macaroni. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Toward the end, remove the foil to let the cheese get a little brown for about 2 minutes. Enjoy!
