Does anyone have a soul food recipe for baked mac and cheese?

Make a white sauce of 3 tablespoons of butter and three tablespoons of flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, dash of pepper,stir in 2 cups of milk and cook till slightly thickened add 2 cups of your favorite cheese I like mild Cheddar. Cook 2 cups macaroni, drain, add to cheese sauce. Spray casserole with non stick coating and pour mac and cheese in to dish, top with more cheese and bread crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes till bubbly and browned on top.


This is such good comfort food. You can use more cheese in the dish I usually add 1/2 to 1 cup more as we really love cheese.Does anyone have a soul food recipe for baked mac and cheese?
No sauce needed! This is what goes on my soul food table. Here you go:





I lb box elbow macaroni


2 eggs


8 oz shredded mild cheddar (white)


8 oz shredded sharp cheddar (yellow)


12 oz shredded Colby Jack (colby/Mont. Jack blend)


1 small can evaporated milk (12 oz?)


approx 4 oz light cream


butter


salt %26amp; pepper


(plain bread crumbs optional)





Preheat oven to 325 degress F. cook noodles in boiling water for 10 minutes. risnse in cold water (to stop the cooking process), drain and add to large cassarole dish. crack eggs and add. add about 2 tblsp salt and 1 tblsp pepper. mix till noodles completely coated. add all cheeses and mix again. pour evaporated milk over mixture. add light cream just til you can see liquid coming to top of dish. Push a few pats of butter down into the mixture. (If you like extra crunchy, sprinkle a few plain bread crumbs over top.) Cover with foil or lid and cook for about 30-40 minutes. remove cover and continue to cook till top starts to turn golden brown and is bubbly...about 30 more minutes. But, watch it to be sure and don't overcook. Take it out while the contents are still a little jiggly. It will settle after about 15 minutes.Does anyone have a soul food recipe for baked mac and cheese?
