Ingredients
12 oz elbow macaroni
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 dashes tabasco sauce
12 oz grated cheddar cheese
6 tbsp butter, sliced into 9 equal pats
salt
pepper
2-4 extra cups milk
Preparation
cook macaroni per the instructions on the package. drain and rinse. set aside. preheat oven to 350 degrees. in a small mixing bowl, beat eggs. add dry mustard and tabasco, mixing thoroughly. slowly beat in milk to ensure even consistency. grease a large baking dish lightly. place a thin layer of cooked macaroni on the bottom of the dish. sprinkle with salt and pepper. dot the layer with three small pats of butter. place a thin layer of grated cheese on top of the pasta layer. continue to layer in the same fashion (macaroni, salt, pepper, butter, cheese) two more times using all the remaining ingredients. pour the egg mixture slowly over the layered macaroni. Pour the leftover plain milk over the macaroni until you are just able to see the mlik appear at the edges of the pasta. cook in preheated oven for about 45 minutes. if the top begins to brown too much, cover loosely with foil.
