This recipe was both simple and delicious! It was VERY cheesy! The only issue was that the top got very dry and the noodles on top were hard. I'm going to try to hunt down how to fix this issue for the next time I make it. In all, I think it was delicious and a good first attempt at homemade baked mac and cheese! :)
Ingredients:
1 pound cooked elbow or shell macaroni
Butter or Crisco for greasing the pan
3 cups half and half or whole milk (skim milk would work too)
12 - 18 slices cheddar or American cheese
Topping:
12 buttery crackers
2 teaspoons paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9 baking pan or casserole dish. Spoon in 1/3 the cooked macaroni and one cup of milk then top with 4 to 6 slices of cheese. Repeat this two more times.
For the topping, place the crackers in a bag and crush them with your hands or with a rolling pin. Mix in the salt, pepper, and paprika. Sprinkle mixture on top of the macaroni and cheese. Bake until bubbly, or about 35 to 45 minutes.
