The Lady's Mac 'N' Cheese

When your parents are living paycheck to paycheck with 2 kids, Mac 'n' cheese seems to become a dinner menu regular. Kids love it; add some hot dogs and its practically gourmet. For kids that is.

I had not eaten Mac 'n' cheese for about 15 years now, because of I was one of those kids with paycheck to paycheck parents. Now I've found a different twist on Mac 'n' cheese that my man and I loved. 

'The Lady's Mac 'N' Cheese

Ingredients::
4 C. cooked elbow macaroni (don't measure until after cooking)
2 C. grated cheddar
3 eggs, Beaten
1/2 C. Sour Cream
4 TBSP. Butter (cut into small pieces)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. milk

Directions::
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Once you have the macaroni cooked and drained, place in a large bowl and add cheese while macaroni is still hot.

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and add to the macaroni mixture. Pour macaroni mixture into a casserole dish* and bake for 30-45 minutes. Top with additional cheese if desired.**
*I used an 8x8 glass casserole dish
**Brent and I added cooked bacon to add a little crunch 

The only thing I had to buy for this recipe was the Sour Cream, which I'm also using for another recipe this week anyways. My grocery bill was practically cut in half this weekend because of meal planning and utilizing what is already in my pantries. Not to mention, we aren't eating fast food at work anymore which will really save a lot!
