Baked Macaroni and cheese-soo simple

I know that I talk about my baked macaroni and cheese a lot, but I have never shared it-so here goes.  I never learned to cook as a girl.  Everything I have learned has been since I was married, and I am far from a chef!  I wanted a homemade macaroni and cheese that did not need the preparation of a white sauce.  Because those sauces scare me.  Seriously.  And then I came across a version in the Joy of Cooking that met my needs! And best part was that it was baked and not runny - reminiscent of the elementary school stuff that I loved.  This has been modified and used many years-I hope you enjoy

Ingredients:
macaroni noodles (1 lb)
2 lb cheese- I use a mixture of cheddar and sharp.  more sharp adds more flavor. 
2 cups of milk
2 eggs

boil noodles.  layer in baking dish:  noodles, cheese, noodles cheese.  combine milk and eggs and pour down the side of the pan.  add pepper to top if desired.  cover with foil and bake about 30 min at 350 degrees.

thats it.

  1. That is the type of baked mac and cheese my mom made when I was a kid...I always liked it. Some people prefer other types but this one is good for me.
