Mac & Cheese Eastern Style




Mac and Cheese ~ Eastern Style

3 cups pasta shells/macaroni
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
1 cup parmesan cheese
1 medium onion, caramelized
1 cup chopped ham
Salt & pepper

Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.  Combine milk, eggs and parmesan cheese and add to pasta; mix well. 

Layer pasta in 2 quart greased casserole dish pasta, shredded cheddar and ham; do this two times ending with pasta. 

Spread caramelized onions on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Bake in 350ยบ oven for 30-40 minutes until top of casserole is brown and bubbly. 

Let cool five minutes before serving.  My mother always says to serve macaroni and cheese with beets but I served with homemade pickles.


   To make caramelized onions, add 2 Tbsp. butter to cast iron fry pan and melt; add sliced onions for 5-8 minutes, tossing often, until onions are tender and brown.
