Mema's favorite way to make mac-n-cheese. Hard to pinpoint the measurements but we finally got it. Needs to rest before eating, so it is good for the buffet table. Follow the directions, they are a little different than the usual mac n cheese dish... More

Ingredients
  • 1 ten ounce package of elbow macaroni
  • 1 quart of water
  • 1 pound of medium sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp of salt
  • 1/2 tsp of black pepper
  • 1 tsp of dry mustard
  • 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper
  • 6-8 grates of fresh nutmeg on microplane

Directions
  1. preheat oven to 450 degrees
  2. Bring one quart of cold water to a boil and cook the macaroni to the al dente stage, you want them firm because you are baking it longer, stir it occasionally to keep from sticking.
  3. DO NOT DRAIN.
  4. You will need the residual water in the pan, most of it will be absorbed at this point anyway.
  5. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
  6. Place mixture in a buttered casserole and bake in the very hot oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
  7. Allow to rest at least 10 minutes before attempting to eat, it will be very very hot.

This does look very unique and good! My homemade mac and cheese doesn't come out real good, so it's nice to find a good recipe.


The recipes handed down without any written measurements are always the best ones


Hey... I'm a Memaw... so I will love this... besides I have not met a mac and cheese that I did not like!


I'm interested in this because it doesn't use a white sauce, no flour. I guess it doesn't need it because of the starchy water from the macaroni. I'm definitely going to try.


This is perfection, my friend!! LOVIN it!!
