This is the best Macaroni and Cheese I have made at home. The evaporated milk and dry mustard makes this dish extra special. Once again I will refer you to The Perfect Recipe. This is the ultimate in Macaroni and Cheese.
Toasted Bread Crumbs
1 C. fresh bread crumbs from French or Italian Bread
1 1/2 Tbsp. Butter
Macaroni and Cheese
Salt
1/2 lb. Elbow Macaroni (my preference is Barilla)
4 Tbsp. Butter
2 large eggs
1 can (12 oz.) Evaporated Milk, heated to warm
1/4 tsp. hot red pepper sauce
Ground black pepper
1 tsp. dry Mustard
10-12 oz. (3 cups) mild cheddar, American or Monterey Jack Cheese
Place bread crumbs in oven to toast until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Place p an of macaroni and cheese in oven too and bake for 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven; thoroughly stir macaroni mixture adding a little remaining milk and cheese. Return to oven and cook 5 minutes longer. Remove macaroni pan from oven and stir thoroughly so that macaroni and cheese cooks evenly adding additional cheese and milk if mixture does not look moist and creamy. Return to the oven for a total of 20 minutes, removing pan from oven once more to stir in remaining milk and cheese. Serve immediately, sprinkled with bread crumbs.
Please note: I personally forgo the bread crumbs. Once again I can’t even tell you how good this stuff is!

Over the years













I served this as a side dish for a small lunch party (7 people). It went over very well. I’ve never made mac-and-cheese that didn’t come from a box before – this was far and away better, and it really wasn’t that much more work.
I tried to take a shortcut by using bread crumbs out of a can, since I had some leftover. It didn’t ruin the dish, but it was definitely better without them.
