Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
½ cup butter
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded Jarlsberg cheese
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
8 ounces evaporated milk
2 eggs, beaten
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a deep 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and return to cooking pot.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir into macaroni.
  • Combine Cheddar, Jarlsberg, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella cheeses in a large bowl; mix well. Add evaporated milk, 1 1/2 cups cheese mixture, and eggs to macaroni. Mix together and season with salt and ground pepper. Transfer to baking dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture.
  • Bake in preheated oven until hot and bubbling around the edges, about 25 minutes.
