Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups dry elbow macaroni
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 cans evaporated milk (12 oz each (370 mL))
  • 1/3 cup milk of choice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 4 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 3 cups of dry elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Stir in 4 tablespoons of salted butter until melted and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cans of evaporated milk, 1/3 cup of milk, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, combine 4 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Layer 1/3 of the buttered macaroni in the dish and sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese mixture. Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with cheese on top.
  • Evenly pour the milk and egg mixture over the layered macaroni and cheese. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of paprika over the top.
  • Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly and the center reaches 165°F on a food thermometer.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
