Today I want to share with you my favorite thing in the world to eat: mac n cheese!! I seriously could eat it every day of my life. I probably did when I was a kid...haha. Anyways, I wanted to share with you my grandmother's very popular recipe of her homemade version of cheesy gold perfection!
Serves: 6 Prep: 15min Cook: 45min Total: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 1 box of bow tie pasta.
- 2-21/2 blocks of Cabot Extra Sharp White cheddar cheese
- Whole Milk
- Paprika (optional)
Directions:
- After bringing a pot of water to a boil, begin cooking bow tie pasta. While cooking pasta, cut up blocks of cheese into chunks or fairly thin rectangles.
- Pre-Heat the oven to 375°F. Use non-stick cooking spray to prepare your baking dish.
- Strain pasta and place a layer in baking dish. Once the bottom of the dish is covered you will then top it with a layer of cheese. Continue layering noodles and cheese until the dish is full and cheese is the last layer.
- Pour in milk. There is no exact measurement for this as it depends on the size of your baking dish. Fill the dish half way with milk.
- Top it off with a few dashes of paprika for extra flavor. (optional)
- Bake for 45-55 minutes. Top should appear a bit crunchy. If you don't want the top layer to be crunchy, take it out at the 45 minute mark.
- Use whole milk, anything less will make it taste off and kind of gritty.
-Orange cheddar may be very tempting and have that nice color you may want, but its
incredibly greasy in this particular recipe. That is why I am stressing white for this recipe.
If you wish to double the recipe like for a party or for whatever reason, all you need to do is double the noodles and cheese. You will still fill up the dish half way with milk at the end.
