I have a tried and true recipe for Slow Cooker Macaroni and Cheese that I make every year for Christmas. My daughter absolutely loves it. So, I wanted to make her some macaroni and cheese but not have to deal with the amount of time it takes to cook in the slow cooker. So, I altered the recipe a little and made it oven friendly. Although, in our opinion, this macaroni and cheese isn’t quite as good as the slow cooker variety, it is still very good. 🙂
Ingredients
1 box (16 ounces) cooked pasta (I used shells)
1 can evaporated milk
1 can skim milk (use the evaporated milk can to measure)
8 cups shredded cheese (I switch kinds occasionally, this time I used Colby Jack and Cheddar)
*1 egg (optional – I don’t think it makes much of a difference, either way)
*breadcrumbs (optional)
Prepare
Preheat oven to 350. Spray inside of the dish you will be using in the oven with Pam Non-Stick Spray. I used my Corning Vision Glassware and it worked wonderfully for this recipe. Combine all ingredients (except for breadcrumbs) in a bowl and then pour in the oven dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over mixture. Cook for 1 hour at 350. Voila!

Yum! Sounds wonderful. Have you ever tried gouda or fontina cheese with the cheddar? It's delicious!
I haven't. But I sure will try it! I have tried it with Mexican Blend and Mozzarella, though. I think a few others. I also have crumbled feta on top, too. They are all good. :)

This looks AWESOME! Pinning it!
Sounds so good.. I have never considered adding egg.. I add some cream cheese to make it softer though..
Ooh, cream cheese. I might try that next time. I love cream cheese. How much do you add, generally?
