Mac & Cheese
I asked my 13 year old sister, Sarah, to write up something for my newsletter about her favorite recipe. Enjoy!
“A few weeks ago I made “Macaroni and Cheese” for Sunday dinner. Sunday dinners are always special for my family, because that’s when my sister and her husband come over to eat and visit. “Macaroni and Cheese” was one of the first recipes I ever made by myself. We’ve made the recipe for years. It is actually my grandmother’s recipe. I remember eating it at her house many times. It’s my little brother Adam’s favorite food. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
8 oz. small elbow macaroni
1 tsp. salt
1 stick butter, melted
2 3/4 c. Cheddar Cheese, grated (save ¾ c. for the top)
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
3 well-beaten eggs mixed with 2 c. milk
Put water into boiler with salt and boil macaroni until done. Drain. Add rest of ingredients in order given. Mix all together and pour into a greased 2-quart baking dish. Put grated cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Will serve 6 to 8. Freezes well. Enjoy!”
Note: To decrease calories and fat, use 1/2-3/4 stick butter, low-fat cheese, and fat-free milk
