Best Macaroni Loaf Recipes

BAKED MACARONI & CHEESE LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, whisk the 3 eggs. Add the remaining ingredients to combine. Poor into a greased pan (I use either a bread pan or a 9x13 pan.) Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Take off the foil and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Cut and serve.
• You can also use seasoned bread crumbs and add onions or onion powder, garlic powder and/or ham. Sometimes I put the macaroni and a bowl with water and microwave for about 5 minutes - just to soften them a bit more. Yum!
