This is the one I make. Someone posted it in here several years ago.

Macaroni and Cheese

Here is what the original poster stated about the recipe: “I got this recipe for Macaroni and Cheese from "Sylvia's Soul Food" cookbook, however, I made two changes. Every time I make it, guests say it's the best they've ever tasted and ask for the recipe. I hope you like it”


12 oz. elbow macaroni (¾ of the box)
2 large eggs
3 tbs. melted butter
1.5 cups of milk
8 oz. of grated cheddar (I use sharp and also use a little bit more than 8 oz., I buy an 8 oz. bag and a small block to top off the dish)
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
8 slices Muenster cheese
0.5 tsp. yellow food coloring - optional, I don't use it (Note: me neither)
little bit of bread crumbs

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cook the mac in salted boiling water. Drain mac well and transfer to large mixing bowl.

2. Mix mac with all the remaining ingredients except bread crumbs and muenster cheese. Then transfer to the mixture to an 11 inch oval baking dish in layers. Add a couple of spoons, then place four slices of muenster cheese, then a couple of more spoons, then four more slices of muenster, then add the rest. I shred a little more cheddar on top and then sprinkle top lightly with bread crumbs.

3. Bake until top crust is golden brown, about 25 minutes - the recipe doesn't call for it to be covered, but I cover mine for 20 minutes, then uncover for the last 5 minutes.

My note: Used Prince's casserole size elbows. I also use a seasoned breadcrumb, like garlic and herb, etc. I grease the baking dish, too.
