Baked Macaroni and Cheese Recipe - Easy to Make!
Baked Macaroni and Cheese is a favorite dish anytime of the year, but it seems to really taste good in the fall! This is one of those comfort food recipes that we bake quite often.
If you are like most people, you have tried different recipes for the Macaroni and Cheese. Sometimes you find that recipe that you are not going to change because it works so well for you and your family. This is one of those recipes. I have tried many, but this is my favorite. It has a nice crusted top thanks to the Panko bread crumbs, and the macaroni is not too "gooey".
Most importantly, this recipe is easy to make. The hardest part is shredding the sharp cheese, but you can buy the cheese already shredded.
And don't forget, leftovers are great, too!

Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 16 ounce box of Macaroni
1 pound Sharp Cheddar Cheese sliced or grated
1 tablespoon butter
1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
Panko Bread Crumbs
1. Grease a 3 quart or a 9" x 13" glass casserole dish.
2. Layer the cooked macaroni, cheese, and butter in the baking dish.
3. Pour the can of milk over the layers.
4. Sprinkle Panko crumbs over the top.
5. Bake one hour at 350 degrees F.
From my experience, I have found that if you are using a three quart dish, use four layers. If you are using the 9" x 13" baking dish, use three layers.
Add leftovers like ham and veggies to make your recipe a little different each time!
