Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Ingredients

• Salt
• 4 cups elbow macaroni
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 4 cups evaporated milk
• 1 cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 5 cups grated sharp cheddar
• 2 cup bread crumbs (I use Panko, in the Asian foods aisle)
• 2 teaspoon paprika (I use smoked paprika, but plain is fine too)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (The kind commonly used on spaghetti is fine)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally until it is almost tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, ½ of the melted butter, the cayenne pepper, and 2 teaspoons of salt.
Put half the macaroni into a buttered 4-quart casserole dish or a large glass baking dish and top with half the cheddar cheese. Repeat. Pour the milk mixture over the macaroni and cheese.
In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the paprika, the remaining butter, and the Parmesan. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the macaroni and bake until brown and bubbly, 50 to 55 minutes. Check the middle of the dish using a spoon, if the milk and egg mixture is still liquid, return dish to oven for a few minutes until it is absorbed.  Serve warm.
