Recipe Introduction
REAL homemade Mac and Cheese. The reason it's one of America's favorite dishes.
List of Ingredients
(Serves 4 to 6)
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, cut into bits
Dash Tabasco sauce
1 12-ounce can evaporated milk (or use whole milk mixed with a little cream)
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon dry mustard, dissolved in a little water
1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350oF. Boil the macaroni until just barely done in salted water. Drain and toss with the butter in a large, ovenproof mixing bowl. Mix the Tabasco into the evaporated milk. Reserving about 1/3 cup, stir the milk into the macaroni, then add the eggs, the mustard, and three quarters of the cheese. When well combined season to taste with salt and pepper, and set the bowl directly in the oven. Every five minutes, remove it briefly to stir in some of the reserved cheese, adding more evaporated milk as necessary to keep the mixture moist and smooth. When all the cheese has been incorporated and the mixture is nicely hot and creamy (which should take 20 minutes, all told), serve it at once, with a plate of toasted common crackers to crumble over.
Serves 4-6
