This isn't as macaroni dense as a regular macaroni and cheese would be. Not bad, but after trying this compared to other traditional baked mac and cheese dishes, I think we prefer the more traditional ones. Still, gotta tell ya, it was easy easy easy and a hit at the party! Thank you very much for the recipe! Also, I have a gas stove, so 350 for 1 hour on electric = 350/1 hour 45 minutes on gas. I think from now on I'll be using five eggs for 12 servings, and using half lb. This time, it came out rather bland and not as well-cooked. I also used half mild cheddar and gouda instead. I made a second batch for myself last night this time using all the correct quantities. It was ALL eaten up in an hour and many raved on how good it was. This was a requested side dish to take to a barbeque. I messed up and added five eggs instead or four no biggie. I'm thinking shredded American can only be found at a butcher or deli I couldn't find it. This recipe is so easy and cost-effective! First time making baked mac & cheese, I used tri-colored rotini (personal preference) and cheddar (half-mild, half sharp) instead of American. And I was able to reheat the leftovers by putting a single portion into a small Pyrex pan and then covering with aluminum foil, heated for about 30 min on 350 degrees. After the alloted cooking time, the macaroni was cooked completely, no hard bits as some complained in other reviews. Then I dumped the macaroni into the rest and then into a greased pan. I mixed the raw macaroni with the melted butter and let that sit while I mixed the other ingredients together in a bowl. I added some Worcestershire sauce and a bit of dried minced onion. I had a small bit of shredded mozzarella, about 3 ounces of blue cheese, and about 1 cup of finely shredded cheddar cheese. I also used up a bunch of different cheeses that needed to be consumed. But it is wonderful! I LOVED it! I halved the recipe and didn't have evaporated milk so I used a mixture of skim and half-and-half.

This is indeed like a macaroni loaf as one previous reviewer said. If you are looking for creamy macaroni and cheese, keep looking.
