Super-Creamy Mac 'n Cheese

Oh my! Very good if you're into creamy and decadent. For the Italian seasonings it can be a blend of any of these: basil, oregano, rosemary, and ground red pepper.

Ingredients:

16 oz. pasta shells or elbow macaroni
1 Tbsp. butter
2 (5 oz.) cans evaporated fat-free milk
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
12 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded, ~ 3 cups divided

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and return to pot. Stir in butter; cover and set aside.

Position broiler rack so that top of macaroni and cheese in baking dish will be 4 to 6 inches from heat source; preheat broiler.

While pasta is cooking whisk together milk, eggs, Worcestershire, salt, seasoning, pepper, and nutmeg until combined.

Place pot of drained cooked pasta over low heat; stir in milk mixture and 2 cups shredded cheese. Cook, stirring, until creamy sauce forms and mixture is hot, about 5 minutes.

Transfer mixture to ungreased 6-cup baking dish; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Broil until lightly browned and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
