Old-school Baked Mac & Cheese
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

  2. Grease a large baking dish (or two medium ones) with butter or nonstick spray.

  3. Boil the macaroni. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until just al dente (don't overcook, it'll soften more in the oven). Drain and place your cooked macaroni in a greased baking dish.

  4. Cube both blocks of cheese and mix them together in a large bowl. (Set aside about 2–3 cups for topping shredded cheese later.)

  5. In a large baking dish combine combine the cooked macaroni, butter. Seating with salt and pepper to taste. I often taste one of the noodles to see if I like the seasoning level. Start mixing in your cubed cheese. Distribute the cheese evenly throughout the cooked noodles.

  6. Make the custard mix. In a separate bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, eggs, until smooth and well combined.

  7. Slowly pour the milk mixture on top of the cheese and noodles and stir until everything is evenly coated.

  8. Pour remaining 3 cans of evaporated milk on top of your noodles and cheese.

  9. Top with the reserved shredded cheese for that golden, bubbly crust.

  10. Bake uncovered at 350°F or 375°F depending on your oven for 45 to 65 minutes, depending on your oven. You'll know it's ready when the top is golden brown, bubbly around the edges, and the center is set.

  11. Rest before serving. Let it sit for about 10–15 minutes!
