Uncle Louie's Famous Mac And Cheese

We hand over the column this week to Uncle Louie. He makes a Mac and Cheese for the kids that is pretty amazing. Since I can not top perfection, we asked him to share his magic.

Ingredients

16 OZ Cavatappi Pasta (Or Elbow)
5 Tablespoons of butter melted
Tsp of Salt
Tsp of Pepper
4 8oz cheese (Grated - Extra Sharp and Colby) 
1/2 Gallon of Whole Milk

Optional - (Diced Tomatoes - Fire - Garlic/Herb - Regular)

Poor the dry macaroni on the bottom of the pan. Pour over the dry pasta the butter, salt and pasta. Add 4 8 oz blocks of cheese. (32 ounces total. Mix and match. Uncle Louie uses Extra Sharp Cheddar and Colby. You can use Muenster, or any Sharp Cheese.) The orange and white are a great mix. Place all of the shredded cheese on top of the pasta. Cover with whole milk.

In an oven, preheat to 350. Bake the mac and cheese (Uncovered) for an hour to an hour and 20 minutes. (Check after an hour and look for the mac and cheese to brown on top. When finished, let the Mac and Cheese stand for 20 minutes to absorb any liquid.
