Tips

You can honestly alter this recipe so easily. Each time I make it, I add different things or just make it plain. But each time, it is DELICIOUS!


Directions

Preheat oven to 350.
Cook pasta according to pasta directions just until done - you don't want it mushy, because it will absorb a little of the cheesy liquid in the oven.
Combine soup, evaporated milk, butter, salt, and pepper in a large pot over medium heat until the butter is melted. Turn off heat. Add 1/2 of the shredded cheese into the pot and blend until all is mixed through. Add the cooked pasta into the pot and blend thoroughly.
In a large baking dish (minimum 9x13, smaller if halving the recipe), spread 1/3 of the noodles. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheddar.
Repeat layers twice, ending with the cheese.
(you can add bread crumbs on top if you'd like.)
Bake for 25-35 minutes.
When it comes out of the oven, sprinkle with a little dried parsley if desired. This gives it visual interest, and you can also pretend it's healthier.
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Serving Size: 12 (it's heavy) I often use it as a side with a healthy salad!
