Notes: Now, why do you need more than one recipe for Mac n Cheez? Because different people were raised eating different styles of this. There's creamy, there's baked and then there are some times when I just need to get out that Kraft box with the skinny noodles.
The thing about this recipe is that with the use of eggs and evaporated milk, you skip the flour based roux mix. Great recipe for new or inexperienced cooks to start with. And since there is no flour base, the leftovers reheat just as creamy, with a little milk added.
