Skillet Macaroni & Cheese

Directions

1. Bring the water, 1 cup (250 mL) evaporated milk, lentils, and salt to boil over high heat in a 12-inch (30cm) broiler-safe pan or skillet. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
2. Stir in macaroni and simmer over medium-high heat until the macaroni is al dente and the lentils are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Preheat the broiler.
4. Stir in the remaining evaporated milk and Dijon mustard. Reduce heat to medium. Stir until smooth, and cook for a minute or two longer.
5. Remove skillet from heat and stir in cheddar and Italian cheeses, one cup at a time. Stir in butter until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the mixture is too thick, thin out with a bit of hot water.
6. In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and melted butter. Sprinkle over macaroni and place the skillet under the broiler for a minute or two, until the crumbs are golden.
7. Remove from the broiler and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
