Ingredients:
1 Box of elbow macaroni, about 16 ounces
1 1/2 1b shredded cheese
1 cup of whole milk
1 stick of butter, unsalted and softened
A pinch of salt
Pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Soften butter in microwave. Microwave on low power for about 60 to 90 seconds. You only want to soften the butter, so check every 10 to 15 seconds to ensure it doesn't melt.
Boil elbow macaroni according to package instructions.
Place cooked and drained macaroni in casserole dish. Add softened butter, milk, pinch of salt, pepper to taste, and 1 lb of shredded cheddar cheese. Gently mix to blend ingredients. Layer top of macaroni with remaining cheese; about 1/2 lb.
Bake macaroni and cheese at 350 degrees for about an hour. Top layer will turn golden brown when macaroni is ready. Do not allow macaroni and cheese to dry out.
