  • 1 (12 ounce) package macaroni
  • 2 cups milk

  • 2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the specified temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, lightly coat a 2-quart-sized baking dish with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray to prevent food from sticking.
3
Bring macaroni to a boil in a large pot of salted water, and continue cooking until it reaches the desired level of doneness, approximately 5 minutes.
4
Drain the cooked macaroni and set it aside for further use.
5
In a separate, large bowl, combine milk and egg to create a smooth mixture.
6
Melt cheese into the milk-egg mixture, adding butter for enhanced flavor.
7
Add cooked macaroni to a prepared baking dish and pour the milk-cheese mixture over it.
8
Season the macaroni mixture with salt and pepper, stirring until all ingredients are well combined.
9
Use a spatula to evenly distribute the macaroni mixture throughout the baking dish.
10
Bake the macaroni mixture in an uncovered, preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Serve the macaroni hot and indulge in its delicious flavors!
