So I am super excited to share this recipe with y’all.  Not only is it one of my favorite things to eat ever, but there’s also a lot of nostalgia in this dish is that a spice?<\/del>.  This is a recipe my mom made up years ago, and one I would request regularly growing up.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>Also, I have to talk about what I’m making this mac & cheese in.  I personally believe that nothing cooks anything as good as a cast iron skillet.  They may weigh 500 lbs<\/del> 20 lbs, but well worth the struggle of lifting these heavy suckers into the oven.  They cook so evenly and thoroughly, it’s hard to mess up a dish.  Also, the one in particular that I used for this dish was my grandmothers, who had it for over 60 years and it had been given to her used.  So, basically we’re talking about a skillet that is at least a century old…talk about staying power.   Once you have tried baked mac & cheese like this, you will never want that stuff out of the blue box again, promise \ud83d\ude42  <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cook your elbow macaroni..<\/p>\n

<\/a>Add your sliced butter…<\/p>\n

4. 4 Tablespoons of Cold Unsalted Butter<\/li>\t\t\t\t
5. 8 Ounce Block of Medium Cheddar Cheese<\/li>\t\t\t\t
6. 8 Ounce Block of Mozzarella<\/li>\t\t\t\t
7. 8 Ounce Block of Colby Jack<\/li>\t\t\t\t

    Instructions<\/div>\t\t\t

    \t\t\t\t
    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    2. Cook elbow macaroni completely until soft, and drain.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    3. In a large mixing bowl, add cooked macaroni.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    4. Now add the 1.5 sticks of cold sliced butter.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    5. Cut up the blocks of cheese into chunky pieces and add to your bowl (you can use as little or as much as you want depending upon how cheesy you want it).<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    6. Add in 4 ounces of the shredded cheese (you can definitely add more if you want).<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    7. Add in your eggs and milk, mix well, at this point the texture will be more 'soupy' which is what you want.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    8. Add salt and pepper to taste (I add quite a bit of both).<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    9. Pour the macaroni mix into your iron skillet and place the 4 tablespoons of sliced butter onto the top of your macaroni, which is optional.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
    10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, longer if you want the top more well done.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\t\t
        \t\t\t

        Notes<\/div>\t\t\t

        \t\t\t\t
        1. This recipe is great, because you can customize it completely to your liking, if you want it to have a thicker more custard like texture, you can add more eggs. I've added bacon to this dish before which is amazing, and it's super delicious to add crumbled butter crackers on top 5-10 minutes before it's done baking. Also, feel free to use any array of cheeses that you personally like.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
