The Best Macaroni and Cheese Ever!


This is seriously good, it is from Lynn's Paradise Cafe in Louisville, KY, it is AWESOME. Try it and let me know how much you enjoy it. =0)

Lynn's Baked Macaroni and Cheese

2 ounces butter, melted, plus extra for preparing the baking pan
1 quart evaporated milk
4 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon white pepper

1¼ lbs. shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese (preferably Vermont cheddar)
1 lb. dry elbow macaroni, cooked al dente

Crumb Topping:
½ cup dry sourdough breadcrumbs (or other firm-textured white bread)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 grindings of black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Butter a 13"x 9" pan. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ounces melted butter, evaporated milk, eggs, paprika, salt and white pepper. Set aside.

Make the crumb topping by mixing all the ingedients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Layer one third of the cooked elbow macaroni in the prepared pan. Cover with one third of the shredded cheddar. Repeat the layers twice more, ending with an even layer of cheese on top.

Pour the evaporated milk mixture evenly over the entire casserole. With gloved hand, press lightly on the top so the ingredients are moistened by the milk.

Bake for 30 minutes, covered with foil. Remove the foil and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the top. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to sit at room temperature 5 minutes before serving

Yield: Serves 12 as a side for lunch or dinner

Enjoy!!!

Hi Steph,

It's one of your SBS22 buds. Quick question. I have SU! markers. I've read a lot about copics. I bought a few and I sort of played with them, but have yet to color or stamp with them. Can you tell me what the difference is between the copics and other markers? I might figure it out myself once I start to use them, but I thought I'd ask in the mean time.
