Prep: 15 minutes

Yields: 4 servings
Get ready to dive into the creamiest, cheesiest, most comforting baked macaroni and cheese of your life!
This easy mac and cheese is baked in the oven for a quick meal that’s sure to become a family favorite. And the best part? It’s ridiculously easy to make – even the most novice cooks can whip it up!

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). While that’s heating up, lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish – you don’t want your mac and cheese sticking to the pan!
Next, boil your macaroni in a large pot of salted water until it’s barely done, about 5 minutes. Drain and set it aside – it’s time to get cheesy!

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of milk and 1 egg. Stir in 2 ½ cups of shredded Cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of melted butter – yes, it’s a lot of cheese, but trust us, it’s worth it!
Place your par-boiled macaroni in the prepared baking dish, then pour the milk mixture over the top. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir until everything is combined.

Press the mixture evenly into the baking dish, making sure to get it into all the corners. Then, pop it into the preheated oven and bake, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
When it’s done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, serve it hot and enjoy the ooey-gooey cheesy goodness!

This baked macaroni and cheese is the perfect comfort food for a chilly night in. So go ahead, grab a fork, and dig in – your taste buds will thank you!
