Grandma Lynn's Super Easy Mac & Cheese Recipe! This Mac & Cheese recipe is really GREAT!! It comes from my mother in-law Lynn. She is from North Carolina, and she definitely knows Mac & Cheese! She is also a GREAT cook! To make this Super Easy Mac & Cheese Recipe, you will need the following ingredients: (I use a 9x13 casserole dish) 2 1/2 cups elbow macaroni 2 (14 oz) cans chicken broth 1 1/4 cups evaporated milk 4 tbs butter (melted) 4 tbs flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 3 cups cheddar cheese (I use medium cheddar) Pour the UNCOOKED pasta into the pan. Pour the chicken broth over the macaroni, the evaporated milk, the melted butter, the flour, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine ingredients, Cover with foil. Place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven. Set a timer for 15 minutes. After the first 15 minutes, remove from oven and stir. Re-cover and return to oven. Set the timer for another 15 minutes. After the second 15 minutes has elapsed, remove from oven again and stir. Re-cover with foil and return to oven. Now set your timer for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes has elapsed, stir once more. Here comes the fun! Add the cheese and stir to combine. (Sauce will be very thin at this point. Don't worry!) Turn your oven to broil and return Mac & Cheese to oven for 5 minutes. (Total cooking time 45 minutes) Remove from oven when the top is bubbly and browned. Enjoy!
