Cheese: The Way to the Heart

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s time to plan a special meal for your significant other.

A Decadent Treat Best Reserved for Special Occasions

As much as I still daydream about the deliciousness of this Baked Macaroni and Cheese, it’s not a recipe I whip up frequently. Let’s break it down mathematically: Cheese > Pasta. It’s not a bad thing for mac and cheese, but perhaps not ideal for an everyday meal. Plus, have you glanced at the ingredients list? This is unquestionably a dish for special occasions.

Recipe Details:

  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Cook Time: 25 mins
  • Total Time: 35 mins

Instructions:

  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and macaroni, cooking until al dente. Drain and return to the pot, then stir in the butter until melted. Set aside.
  2. In a spacious bowl, thoroughly combine the evaporated milk, milk, eggs, and garlic salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the cheeses.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  4. Layer 1/3 of the macaroni, followed by 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining macaroni and cheese mixture. Pour the milk mixture over the top and evenly sprinkle paprika.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Enjoy!
