Baked Macaroni and Cheese

This one is posted today at the request of my cousin Al. Its not my usual mac and cheese recipe, but a very good, simple mac recipe.


1 box macaroni noodles
1/2 stick of butter
(2) 8-oz packages of shredded cheese, or (2) 8oz bricks of cheese (cubed).
2 cups of milk
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp black/white ground pepper
2 eggs, beaten well


Boil macaroni according to the package directions. While the macaroni is cooking, warm milk in a saucepan. Add butter until melted, then slowly add 1/2 of the cheese to the milk mixture, stirring until melted. Add salt and pepper. Drain macaroni and mix with cheese sauce mixture. Stir in beaten egg. Place in a glass baking dish (probably 8x8 or 9x9) and top with remaining cheese. Bake at 375 until cheese melts golden brown. Italian bread crumbs can also be sprinkled on the top, but it doesn't change the flavor much.
