The only thing I can tell you is this recipe is off the hook!

My mother in law had a recipe from the back of the church's kitchen. In my husband's family, I think only one of his brother's and one of his sister's has the recipe. Having the recipe and knowing how to make it taste like Mother Elizabeth's is an entirely different story!

This side dish is a MUST with ribs!

I have mastered her recipe! Enjoy!

Definitely a heart attack waiting to happen!
DELICIOUS!

Mrs. Miller's Macaroni and Cheese

You will need:

2 Boxes of Elbow Macaroni
2 Bags of 2 cups size shredded cheddar cheese.
~ol' school you would shred the cheese from the block
about 4 cups you need.
2 Sticks of REAL BUTTER!
8 eggs
4 Cups of REAL FULLY LEADED MILK!
Salt and Pepper
Bread Crumbs

Now you need a lasagna size casserole pan. The corning ware
or pyrex glass or aluminum pan type.

1. Rinse the pan and dry to prepare.

We will be LAYERING the ingredients...this is the secret
it's in the layers!

2. First layer slice pats of butter and line patty squares
around the bottom of the pan. Not too many and just enough!

3. Then lay/place on top the butter a layer of cooked elbows.

4. Now repeat a layer of butter patties on top of the elbows.

5. This is a very important step. Sprinkle salt and pepper over
this layer.

6. Now toss the cheese over this layer across and to the edge
of the pan...completely cover one layer of cheese over the
elbows.

So you have:
a layer of butter to line the pan,
a layer of elbows
a later of butter patties
a layer of salt and paper
a layer of cheese

7. Repeat all layers again starting with a layer of elbows.

So you will now have:
a layer of elbows
a later of butter patties
a layer of salt and paper
a layer of cheese

8. Depending on the depth of the pan keep making the pattern
of complete layers over and over until you reach near the top
of your casserole dish. You have to leave space for bubbling
while baking. Filling it to the top will make it spill over
and burn.

9. Now take eight eggs and 4 cups of milk and blend together.
Mix, stir or blend however until it looks like the color of
rich egg nog or a custard.

10. Now carefully poor over the layers filling the casserole
nearly to the top with the liquid. Leave room for the bubbling
while cooking.

I line the bottom of my oven with aluminum foil just in case
of the bubbling over and spilling. It will smoke up your oven
so becareful! Don't fill everything to the tippy top of the
pan and you will be fine!

11. Now sprinkle bread crumbs over the top of the entire casserole.

12. Bake at 400 or 425 degrees in the oven for about 45 minutes to
and hour and a half. I say this as it all depends on your oven i.e.
how hot and fast it cooks. Bake in casserole uncovered.

13. At 45 minutes check and see how it is cooking! If the top
browns to a golden color before finishing cover with the casserole top
or aluminum foil. Bake it covered the rest of the way! Don't let the
top burn now! So start watching around 40 minutes into the baking process!

14. Keep checking until everything is firm! This is the improtant part
and depends on prayer!!! You have to judge when its finished! Slow and
steady, have patience until it is finished and it will be perfect!

You can substitute fat free dairy items to make a light version!

If you want a real hit parade here, make the fully leaded version!

Makes great left overs and I freeze squares for quick microwaving!

Your blended family will love it and if there is a black man
around yo table...he will be there for life!!!!!

Bon Appetite and Be Blessed!
