Classic Southern Mac 'n Cheese

By GratefulSea

With a 5-minute prep time, this is the traditional "dump" style of an American favorite in which the basic ingredients are simply mixed all together, allowing the custard to create itself as the casserole bakes. Source: the Food Network.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch ovenproof casserole dish.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until tender (a little more than al dente), about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander.

In a large bowl, combine the macaroni, cheese, milk and eggs. Add some salt and pepper. Transfer to the prepared dish.

Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly before serving.
