So easy and yummy - I make this all year long. We eat it as the main meal with a green vegetable. It is from the Southern Living Big Book of Christmas Baking (1996).

How To Make macaroni and cheese

Step 1

Cook macaroni according to the package. In the meantime: 1) lightly grease a 2 qt baking dish 2) measure milk in a bowl or large measuring cup, add the eggs, salt and pepper and beat lightly 3) shred the cheese

Step 2

When macaroni is cooked, strain and put 1/3 of the macaroni in the baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Put another 1/3 of macaroni over the cheese, and top with another cup of cheese. Put the last 1/3 of macaroni on top (no cheese this time), and pour the milk mixture over the macaroni.
Step 3

Bake covered at 350 for 45 minutes. Uncover and add last 1 cup of cheese and sprinkle with paprika. Re-cover and let sit (turn off oven if you're leaving it on the oven rack) for 10 minutes.
