Southern Style Baked Macaroni and Cheese

This is a really simple way to make a delicious Southern baked macaroni and cheese recipe. If you like it cheesier, just increase the amount of cheddar you put in. The whole family will love it!

Serves: 8

Preparation Time: 15 min

Cooking Time: 40 min
Ingredients

* 1 medium package (6 ounces or so) large elbow macaroni
* 1 pound New York Sharp cheddar, grated
* 1 teaspoon dry mustard
* 3 eggs, beaten
* milk
* salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Cook macaroni al dente.

2. Drain the water and add 3/4 of the cheese, the mustard, spices, eggs and just enough milk to bring the liquid up to the level of the still hot macaroni.

3. Stir well and heat on the stovetop till the cheese melts.

4. Put into a 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.

5. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until the center is hot.

6. Remove the foil and add the remainder of the cheese to the top and bake an additional five minutes.

Notes

* Variations: Add chopped scallions or a few slices of cooked bacon on top.

* Also, the sharper cheese you use, the better.
