Mmmmmmac 'N Cheese!

      One of the goals I set for myself when we got married was to try a new recipe at least once a week. Well I'm on a roll this week! I've tried three new recipes this week. I'll start with one I've been wanting to try for a long time. Mac 'N Cheese! Yummy! Here's whatcha need:

2 Cups shell pasta (I used farfalle but definitely use shells instead)
1/4 cup of butter (1/2 stick)
1 Can of Evaporated milk (12 oz)
2 Large eggs
1 Teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 Teaspoon pepper
1 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 Cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 Cup Velveeta cheese, cubed


Start by cooking the pasta. Don't cook it all the way or you'll have mushy mac. Drain the pasta and put it back in the pan. Cut the butter:
And add it to the pan.

Whilte thats melting away, combine the evaporated milk, eggs, dry mustard and cayenne pepper in a bowl and wisk it all together:

Add that too the pot and let it hang out for a minute.
Once the mixture is nice and hot, add the cheese:

Once all the cheese is in keep stirring it until it's all good and melted. Then put the whole mixture in a 1 1/2 quart glass baking container and pop it in the oven at 350* for about 25 minutes. Then you end up with this melty goodness:

I served this with baked BBQ chicken and corn. Big hit! (SECRET: When making BBQ chicken always make a little extra. Stay tuned for the next recipe to see why.)
