My Dads Favorite Macaroni Salad Recipes

DAD'S FAVORITE SALAD

Dad's Favorite Salad image

My father always liked this salad, so I shared this recipe with my mom. When she first made it for Dad, he enjoyed it so much he told here to be sure to share the recipe with me. I laughed because he didn't know that I had given the recipe to Mom in the first place. I knew he'd like it.-Judy Long, Limestone, Tennessee

Categories One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3/4 lb grated yellow sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 lb grated tillamook cheese (or your favorite Mild Cheddar.)
1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni (or favorite tube pasta ... NOT salad macaroni!!)
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 cup light cream or 3/4 cup half-and-half cream
1/2 cup softened butter (you won't be using all of it)
salt & pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°.
Butter a round casserole dish (I use a 6-inch deep x 8-inch straight sided covered casserole dish).
Cook the macaroni according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water.
Grate the cheese and KEEP in separate piles.
Place a cup of the cooked macaroni on bottom of greased casserole dish, salt and pepper *lightly* - (*you will be doing this each layer so careful with the salt*); top with a handful of cheese (it doesn't matter which one you start with -- you will be alternating the cheeses); dot the cheese with a little bit of butter -- repeat until all the macaroni is used (finish with cheese!).
Top the last layer of cheese with a bit more butter.
Mix together the egg and cream (half-n-half), Pour over the casserole. Place the casserole on a cookie sheet (it has a tendency to bubble over). Cover the casserole for the first 30 minutes. After the first 30 minutes, remove the casserole top and bake for another 20-30 minutes until the cheese on top is melted and nice and crusty.
