CHEESY MACARONI AND CHEESE
2 cups macaroni
1 pkg. cheddar cheese (about 12 ounces)
1 pkg. mild colby cheese (about 12 ounces)
1 large can (13 ounce) condensed milk
4 eggs
1 stick butter or margarine
Salt and pepper
Cook the macaroni. Melt the butter and mix with the macaroni. Salt and pepper to taste. Grate the cheese and mix most of it with the macaroni. Beat the eggs. Blend together with the milk.
Put the macaroni in a casserole or baking dish and pour the milk and egg mixture over it until the liquid reaches the top of the macaroni. (You may have some leftover egg mixture). Spread the remaining cheese on top. Cook at 350 degrees until the cheese on the top becomes brown and bubbly.

I wonder if this is suppose to be evaporated milk instead of condensed milk. I can’t imagine using condensed milk for this recipe.
I used condensed milk the first time and it was way too sweet. I now use evaporated milk and my family loves this recipe. Delicious!
Making it this way is like a dessert.Way too sweet and rather disgusting. Sugar does not belong in Macaroni and Cheese. I would use evaporated milk or even just plain milk.
Way to sweet for my diabetic husband. Will try evaporated milk.
It should say evaporated milk
Condensed milk is what evaporated milk was referred to years ago.
I made this recipe for New Years. My family liked it but EVERYONE asked what I had done differently. The sweetened condensed milk was definitely sweet. I’ll try it as suggested in the comments with evaporated milk instead. We compared it to eating cornbread that has had sugar added.
Recipe contains big mistake. It should say evaporated milk not condensed milk. I am a retired culinary arts.teacher & every year some student would get the two confused. Luckily I usually stopped them in time.
I haven’t tried this particular recipe yet but my sister-in-law gave me her recipe for baked mac & cheese and she uses sweet condensed milk in hers as well and her mac & cheese is out of this world. She also adds regular milk to hers so maybe that fills down the sweetness.
Obviously shouldn’t use condensed milk, evaporated for sure! Ha, my mother in law tried to sub that stuff for evaporated milk once in a tamale pie, and I’ve never let her live it down?!
Years ago, when I was young, I remember my mother and others who cooked, calling evaporated milk condensed milk.
