m-m-m-mac 'n cheese
Teaching my daughter to cook. This is a twist on the Traditional and Campbell's®. We've wanted a creamier version, especially with Thanksgiving around the corner. We omitted pepper. As there is dry mustard. I would have liked to add hot sauce. Daughter nixed that. Sous Chef states, "Mum, this is it." We hope you enjoy it too. EDIT:Tastebuds change as daughter grew. I made additions of ingredients for this recipe.I corrected mistakes. 26 December 2018

How To Make m-m-m-mac 'n cheese
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350℉.
-
Step 2Cook elbows as per box directions. Drain well. 11 minutes will give you Al Dente, perfect for this recipe.
-
Step 3Combine cornstarch, salt, pepper, dry mustard in a large microwavable glass bowl. Stir in evaporated milk, water, soup and butter. Cover with a vented microwave lid, cook for 6-7 minutes. Do not over cook. You want it nice and warm to melt the cheeses when added.
-
Step 4Slowly fold cheeses, velveeta® (it is cheese, processed) into the soup mixture, one blend at a time. Until smooth.
-
Step 5Pour cheese sauce over macaroni. Slowly fold in.
-
Step 6Slowly fold eggs into macaroni and cheese.
-
Step 7Pour macaroni and cheese sauce into coated with butter flavored cooking spray, Roasting size pan,15 x 10 x 3-inch.
-
Step 8Sprinkle Bread crumbs, cracker mixture over macaroni and cheese.
-
Step 9Bake for 40-55 minutes. You want a light golden brown on top.
-
Step 10For a crispy top. Place under broiler at 500f for 5 minutes. Be certain to stay with it to avoid burning.To make even cheesier, sprinlke with your favourite cheese before placing under broiler. No amount given for this step, Cook or crowd's decision. I say the more cheese the merrier!!!
-
Step 11This batch is so large. I had enough to fill a 12 cup muffin tin. Spray tin with butter flavoured spray. Fill cups to 3/4 way, do not overfill. Bake macaroni and cheese muffins for 30 minutes in a preheated oven at 350℉, until light golden brown on top. Allow to cool 5-10 minutes before removing from muffin tin. Can be reheated 30 seconds per muffin, in microwave.
