Mac & Cheese

I decided to make homemade mac & cheese for the 1st time. After searching many recipes online, Paula Deen came through once again :) I changed it around a little bit as her recipe was for the slow cooker, I baked mine in the oven.

Ingredients

• 3 cups uncooked elbow macaroni 4 tablespoons (1/2 stuck) butter, cut into pieces
• 2 1/2 cups (about 10 ounces) grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 3 cans condensed cheddar cheese soup
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Boil the macaroni in a 2 quart saucepan in plenty of water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain. In a medium pot, mix butter and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts. In a slow cooker, combine cheese/butter mixture and add the eggs, sour cream, soup, salt, milk, mustard and pepper and stir well. Then add drained macaroni and stir again. Set the slow cooker on low setting and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
(I poured the sauce over my macaroni, mixed together in a "lasagna pan" grated cheese on top and baked on 400 just until cheese was melted)

It was a hit! Can you tell :)
