Here is my favorite Mac and Cheese recipe!. It is unlike the creamy soupy stuff I grew up with but I love the flavor of this!.

1 level cups dried elbow macaroni
2 large eggs
1 can Carnation evaporated milk
1 /4 cup cup cold water
1 lb shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Parkay margarine, melted
1/4 teaspoon (scant) black pepper
1 teaspoon (rounded) paprika
1/4 teaspoon (scant) salt
about 3 Tbl!. of grated or finely chopped onion
about 2 TBL!. of finelychopped or grated bell pepper
Boil the macaroni for 7-9 minutes until “al dente” not soft!. Pour into colander or strainer and rinse quickly with cold water!. Drain completely!. Preheat oven to 350 F!. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with PAM vegetable oil spray!. In a large mixing bowl beat eggs well, then add evaporated milk, water, cheese and drained macaroni!. Mix well!. Stir in the melted margarine, then add the black pepper, paprika and salt and stir well!. Spoon into prepared baking dish and bake for 45 minutes at 350 F until light golden on top and set!.
