My Sisters Mac N Cheese Golden Oldie

From lor 16 years ago

This is my sister Jane's Mac n' Cheese recipe. It was handed down from her Mother-in-law many years ago. It's the best!!!

1/2 pound(maybe a little more) elbow macaroni shopping list
3 Tbsps. butter - NOT margarine shopping list
3 Tbsps. flour shopping list
1 Tbsp. Keen's powdered mustard (optional) shopping list
Note: I like to replace the mustard with a dash or 2 of Tobasco sauce! That really adds a nice kick to it. shopping list
3 cups 2% or homogonized milk shopping list
1 yellow or cooking onion, finely chopped shopping list
1/2 tsp. paprika shopping list
1 tsp. onion powder shopping list
1 large egg, beaten shopping list
12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded shopping list
1 tsp. salt shopping list
1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper shopping list
Topping: shopping list
3 Tbsps. butter shopping list
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs shopping list

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente. While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt butter.
Whisk in flour and mustard and keep whisking for about 4 minutes. Make sure it's free of any lumps.
Stir in milk, onion, paprika and onion powder.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Very gradually add in the beaten egg.
Note: I stress - VERY GRADUALLY
Stir in 3/4 of the cheese.
Season with salt and pepper.
Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish.
Top with remaining cheese.
Melt the butter in a small frying pan and toss the seasoned bread crumbs to coat.
Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs.
Note: I like to top this macaroni dish with crushed Sour Cream and Onion potato chips. Ohhhhhhhhh yummmmm...
Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to set for five minutes before serving.
