Southern Baked Mac and Cheese
I am not sure what makes this a "Southern" dish, but it sounds really good. I love a good Mac & Cheese. On my to cook list.
Ingredients
- 500 grams elbow macaroni, cooked and drained
- 4 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded, this is about 1-1 1/2 250 gram blocks
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup butter, this is 1/4 block of butter, softened
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 block Cream cheese, softened
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 C. Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter.
- Place cooked and drain macaroni in a large bowl, add 3 cups of the Cheddar cheese, milk, eggs, butter, and cream cheese. Add salt and pepper to your liking. Mix until all combined. Pour into the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Cheddar on over the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Serve as a side or as a main dish.
Notes
Low cost meal for sure, well under $1.00 per serving.
For variants, ad one of the following, cooked cubed ham, cooked sliced smoked sausage, cooked cubed chicken. Even with these, still under $1.00 per serving.
