Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole with butter.
• Dissolve salt in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook macaroni, stirring often, until pasta is tender but still slightly firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse macaroni under cool water, drain, and transfer to a bowl. Stir 1/4 cup softened butter into macaroni and toss a few times to melt butter and coat macaroni.
• Beat eggs in a bowl; whisk evaporated and condensed milks into eggs.
• Spread a layer of macaroni into the bottom of the prepared casserole; sprinkle with a layer of Cheddar cheese. Continue layering macaroni and cheese, ending with a layer of cheese on top. Pour egg-milk mixture over the layers. Use a fork to gently dig into the layers, assuring that the egg-milk mixture flows into all the layers. Sprinkle with paprika.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook bread crumbs in the hot butter, stirring constantly, until fragrant and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle crumb topping over casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is browned and bubbling, about 45 minutes.

CHILI MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook and drain ground beef with salt, pepper, green pepper, onion and garlic.
• Add chili sauce, water, chili powder and corn.
• Simmer about 10 minutes to heat through.
• Meanwhile, prepare macaroni as directed on package.
• Combine sauce and pasta.
• Note. I use jarred pureed garlic, about 1 tsp, instead of whole cloves. Also, if you don't care to use the macaroni and cheese package, you can make your own, or use some other pasta. The sauce by itself makes about 4 cups, and is quite thick.
• Note -- The first time I made the sauce, I froze it before adding the pasta. It was still very good even after three months in the freezer.
