Macaroni Recipe ~ Grandmother's Macaroni and Cheese

This is my grandmother's macaroni and cheese. It is best when cooked in a clay baking dish at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 1 hour.

Ingredients

• 1 cup elbow macaroni
• 1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• ⅓ cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
• 1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain.
3. Stir macaroni, Cheddar cheese, milk, egg, mustard, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; pour into a baking dish.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until brown and thickened, about 45 minutes.
