Baked Macaroni and Cheese image

This is the macaroni & cheese that I grew up on. It's still my favorite. I like the cheese on top crispy. It is almost like Anthony Bourdain's mom made. Hope you enjoy it too.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb shell macaroni (large or medium shells)
3/4 teaspoon salt
pepper
4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
4 cups milk

Steps:

  • Cook shells in boiling water until barely al-dente.
  • Drain well.
  • Heat oven to 400 deg.F and grease a 13 x 9 inches baking dish.
  • Put about 1/3 of the shells in prepared dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt, pepper and 1/3 of the cheese. Dot with 1/ tbsp butter. Repeat layers twice more, ending with the remaining cheese. Don't push down on the shells or it will make it too dense. Pour milk over top.
  • Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how crisp you like the top.
