Cooking with Momma T: How to Bake Macaroni and Cheese

Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Ingredients:
1 lb
Elbow Macaroni
24 oz
Sharp Cheddar Cheese (Shredded)
1 stick
Butter
2 tbsp
All-Purpose Seasoning
1 tsp
Pepper (Black or white)
2 cans
Evaporated Milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the macaroni for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and pour noodles in a deep 13 x 9 baking dish. Add butter, half the cheese, all-purpose seasoning, pepper, and stir until cheese is well combined. Add 1/2 cup of cheese and continue to stir. Cover the top of your dish with the remaining cheese, pour in 2 cups of can evaporated milk, cover with aluminum foil and back for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest before serving. *NOTE: This recipe works well with a variety of different cheese, such as Colby Jack, Cheddar and you can add Velveeta or Cheez Whiz.

I just love the smaller pan for your “son’s drive by pick-up” Bless your heart.

Thank you for the great idea to make sure there’s some milk left in the bottom as it continues to bake while it’s out of the oven! Great tip!

I love how simple this is. I like macaroni and cheese the way I make it, but I'm always looking at other recipes in case I want to try something different. This looks great!

[danettecarder]

I got extremely spoiled living in South Carolina!! Thank you so much!! 💜🔥

Girl you be Mama Thunder. I'm just some simple white boy that doesn't know how to cook but I love me some mac-and-cheese so thanks for teaching

[ilovecoloringhazel]

my
I've been hunting for my mom's, baked mac & cheese. I know she used just a few types of ingredients and sharp cheddar only. I'm so happy, I kept hunting!
I can't wait till my next payday, to get what you use and try it out!
I think, this is it! 💚
I'll be back and let you know, if this is really the one. Thanks! 🤓

I been looking at different videos and have tried a few I just wanted the old simple recipes but all these videos with velveeta Gouda garlic powder I’ll pass just give me simplicity and you’ve done that I’m making this today‼️

[kredwol]

Made this a couple years back and it was a hit at my pot-luck pool party. Making another batch right now. Not to judge a book by it's cover but out of all the youtube recipes I saw, I was like, yep that's the one.

i just tried this for my first time making mac and cheese it was so amazing

[danaandrews]

Hi! I just wanted to tell you that I watched many macaroni and cheese videos so we could have the perfect mac and cheese for Thanksgiving this year!! I tried two of the ones that looked appealing to me. They were mediocre in taste. And then I did your recipe for macaroni and cheese!!! The minute everyone bit into it we all had the same reaction 🤣🤣 oh This is the best macaroni and cheese I have ever tasted!! I'm a Southern girl and I love a specific type and yours hit every note perfectly 🥰🥰 thank you so very much for the recipe and the beautiful video! God bless you and your family

[brendamills]

Oh my goodness! This recipe is just like my Mom’s recipe!! Thank you!!

[cindearbuckle]

I’m going to give this a try . My sister always used butter and milk with Colby jack so good . Thanks for sharing

[windsongstudios]

I am going to make this tomorrow for my Mama. Thanks Momma T!!!

[maggieensley]

This recipe! Ive been making a smooth cheese sauce and pouring it over the noodles for many years, lots of recipes and Im still searching for the one! Ive got to try this and maybe not get disappointed once again with the leftovers being one big clump!
Would love to hear your ideas on why this works better than a cheese sauce with flour... I don’t t do the egg version with corn starch.
You are adorable and a great mamma! Thank you
