  • Grease entire surface of your 9"x 13" baking pan generously with butter.
  • Start Preparation by covering the bottom of the dish with half of the cooked elbow macaroni.

  • Add a layer of half of the Cheddar Cheese, then half of the Monterey Jack or Mild Cheddar Cheese.
  • Add the other half of the elbow macaroni, THEN 2 more TBSP of butter cut into small pieces and spread out evenly.
  • Add the other half of both cheeses.
  • Add the 2 Cups of milk.

  1. I call this "Daddy mac and cheese" because it's so easy even I can do it. ;-) The kids love it! And now that I know this recipe, the box kind just doesn't cut it any more. I grease the pan with garlic olive oil and leave out the butter. And slice up a couple slices of whole wheat bread for the breadcrumbs. And use a large cast iron pan. (it's heavy)
     
  2. My first meal cooked from these menus. I really enjoyed it but I think next time I will use less butter and maybe keep the same amount of cheese but increase the macaroni portion as it was a bit greasy. Very tasty overall, added parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs.
     
  3. Delicious and easy, used pinko instead or regular bread crumbs. Very filling and fattening tho:(
