Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  2. Place macaroni in a 2-quart casserole dish. Stir in cheese soup and milk until well combined. Sprinkle with shredded Colby cheese.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.
