Linda's Macaroni & Cheese

"The unselfish effort to bring cheer to others will be the beginning of a happier life for ourselves."

Casserole:

1 lb elbow macaroni

4 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded

4 cups milk

3 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces

1-1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

pepper to taste

Topping:

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9" x 13" pyrex/oven-proof pan or a 5 quart casserole dish.

Casserole prep: Boil the macaroni until done, drain and then pour into buttered baking dish. Add the cheese, butter and seasoning and then mix well. Pour the milk over the top of the macaroni, but don't mix it in. Place into hot oven for approximately 1 hour.

Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese across top, spreading evenly. Pop casserole back into the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes [or however long it takes], until the casserole looks lightly browned and cheese is melted good.

Let the dish sit for about 5 minutes and then serve.

Yum . . . this is definitely Morgen's favorite Mac & Cheese dish her friend Linda Sabine makes for the Outreach Dinners at church. Linda graciously shared her family recipe with Morgen, so she is definitely a happy little chef in grandma's kitchen.
