Grandma's Southern Mac and Cheese
A creamy and cheesy macaroni dish perfect for family gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
- elbow macaroni (1 pound)
- Cheddar cheese (4 pounds)
- milk (1.5 cups)
- eggs (5 )
- yellow mustard (1 tablespoon)
- ground black pepper (0 )
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
- Layer some of the macaroni in a 5-quart baking dish; top with a layer of Cheddar cheese. Continue layering macaroni and Cheddar cheese into the dish, ending with a Cheddar cheese layer.
- Beat milk, eggs, and mustard together in a bowl; pour over macaroni mixture, ensuring milk mixture gets to all of the macaroni.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and just before cheese around the sides gets crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with black pepper.
