Ingredients

• 5 cups cooked Macaroni
• 5 tbsp butter
• 2 eggs
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 3 cups milk (whole)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• 4 cups shredded Sharp Cheddar
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan

Method

Step 1

Cook the macaroni until done (refer to the package instructions). I like to use the large elbow style. Do not over cook or the macaroni will fall apart. Drain the macaroni in a strainer.

Step 2

Place macaroni, butter, salt, pepper, milk, mozzarella and 3 cups of the cheddar in a mixing bowl. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and then add to the mixing bowl that is already filled with the other ingredients. Thoroughly mix all of the ingredients together and then poor into a medium sized casserole dish.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Once oven is heated, cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Let bake for 45 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from oven. Take foil off of casserole dish. Add the remaining cup of cheddar cheese and cup of parmesan. Make sure you sprinkle both evenly across the top. Increase the heat of the oven to 375. Return the casserole to the oven uncovered. Let bake for approximately 15 more minutes or until the cheese develops a slight brown, crispy appearance. Remove from the oven, let cool for approximately 5 minutes and enjoy
