Equipment

  • 1 large saucepan
  • 1 2-quart baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1 box deluxe macaroni and cheese (14 oz)
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups shredded cheese, divided

Instructions

  • Prepare box of macaroni and cheese according to instructions on the stovetop. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Mix in egg and milk and half of the shredded cheese in the macaroni.
  • Pour mixture into a greased baking dish and top with rest of cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is golden.

Notes

  • Need mac & cheese for more than four people? You can double the recipe ingredients and use a 9x13 dish for the ultimate macaroni meal!
  • Seasonings are welcome in this baked macaroni and cheese — I use salt and pepper.
  • I love using shredded sharp cheddar cheese in this dish, but you can use whatever cheese you prefer. 
  • For a creamier macaroni and cheese, increase the amount of milk by half a cup.
