Tips

Adapted from Food.com "Yummiest Ever Baked Mac and Cheese". The original was over 800 calories per serving.


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Cook pasta according to directions to the lowest range (If it says 9-11 minutes, cook to 9 minutes)

3. In a large microwaveable bowl, combine soup, evaporated milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving a small vent, and cook 6-7 minutes. Stir to combine.

4. Add all of the macaroni to the sauce and stir to combine.

5. Spray a 9x13 pan with canola oil spray.

6. Spread 1/2 of the cooked noodles into the pan. Top with 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Layer the other half of the noodles on top and top with cheese.

(At this point you can cover the dish and refrigerate or freeze it.)

7. Bake for 40-45 minutes at 350 (or 30 minutes on 350 convection.)

8. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

9. Slice into 10 lovely rectangles.

Serving Size: Makes 10 rectangular servings.
