Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3-1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2-1/2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (7 ounces) elbow macaroni, cooked and drained

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the cheese, buttermilk, butter and salt. Add macaroni; toss to coat.
  2. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45-50 minutes or or until a thermometer reads 160°.
buttermilk
