Recipe by Notyourmomma: Macaroni Pie Memas Favorite
This a tasty baked mac 'n cheese dish. Cheese is on the grainy side.
Take this review with a grain of salt because I increased the recipe to use a 1lb box of noodles. I so hate having a partial box of pasta open so any crawling creature can access.
Here are the measurements for a full box of elbows:
16 oz macaroni
6 2/3c water
1 2/3lb cheese
4 ¾ eggs - I used 5
3 1/5c milk
1/3c + 1T unsalted butter
1 2/3t salt
¾ t black pepper
1 2/3t dry mustard
3/8 t cayenne pepper
10-20 grates of fresh nutmeg
Might could use more salt but is OK how it is. Can't taste the cayenne at all but maybe that's a good thing. Has plenty of oil from the melted cheese so you could probably cut back the butter to 1/3c or 1/4c.

Boiled the noodles in a stock pot instead of a large soup pot because the recipe was increased. Went ahead and used the stock pot to bake in the oven and save another dirty dish. No one's seeing this dish except the bottom of my stomach. Looked awful soupy going in the oven but set up nicely. If your presenting this dish on the table then go for the extra dirty casserole dish.

This was one of the best baked mac & cheese I've had! Did you reheat leftovers? Those were even better when I made this dish. Maybe it was the cheese you used? I don't recall it being grainy..

Ate leftovers cold. Didn't notice any graininess.
Maybe something didn't translate well in increasing the recipe.
