Potluck Macaroni and Cheese
So you don’t show up empty handed to the cookout
Ingredients
16 oz sharp cheddar, grated
8 oz mozzarella, grated
8 oz gouda, grated
3 oz parmesan, grated
1 lb macaroni pasta
24 oz evaporated milk
3 large eggs
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
If you are from the south, you’re guaranteed to have had this style of mac and cheese at a cookout, potluck or family gathering. Gooey and cheesy and amazing!
Preheat oven to 350 F
Mix the cheese minus the parmesan in a bowl and set to the side.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and boil the macaroni for 2 minutes less than instructed on the package. It should be very al dente.
Strain the pasta and add to a large bowl with the evaporated milk and about ¼ (8 oz) of the cheese mixture.
Mix until the milk and cheese are well incorporated
Add about half (16 oz) of the cheese and mix to combine.
Let the macaroni cool for a minute or two or until warm but not too hot to the touch (we don’t want the eggs to scramble).
Add the eggs, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper and mix.
Add the macaroni mixture to a baking dish and top with the rest of the cheese (8 oz) mixture as well as the parmesan.
Bake for 30-45 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
