Meals with five ingredients or less are hard to come by, but this recipe for Momma's Baked Macaroni and Cheese fits the bill and is tasty to boot. Cooked elbow macaroni noodles are layered with slices of sharp white Cheddar cheese and milk. The casserole bakes until it is golden brown and crunchy on top. For a true Southern macaroni and cheese experience, serve this must-make dish with a side of stewed tomatoes.
Preheat oven to 350°.
Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Layer ingredients in the following order:
half of the macaroni,
half of the cheese,
the remaining macaroni,
followed by the remaining cheese.
Sometimes I'll spread it out even more and do the layers of macaroni a little thinner and I end up with somewhere around 1 or two more layers. As long as you end up with cheese on the top, you're good. Top with sliced butter.
Pour milk over layers until the milk fills the dish about 3/4 of the way full or until you just see the milk coming through the macaroni when you're looking at it from the top.
Bake uncovered in preheated oven for 50 minutes to one hour or until the top is golden and bubbly. Let sit 10-15 minutes before serving.
