I wanted to stay true to the original recipe, so the only thing I changed was to sprinkle salt on the noodles.
Bess Truman's Mac & Cheese
1/2 lb macaroni noodles
salt to taste
2 C grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 egg
2 C whole milk
1/2 stick salted butter, cut into pats
Preheat oven to 350 and grease an 8 by 8 baking dish.
Cook
1/2 lb macaroni in lightly salted water. Spoon half of it into the
prepared baking dish, and sprinkle on a little salt. Sprinkle on half
of the cheddar. Top with the rest of the noodles, a little more salt,
and the rest of the cheese. Beat the egg, then stir in the milk. Pour
evenly over the mac and cheese. Arrange pats of butter evenly on top.
Bake
mac and cheese for about 45 minutes, until golden and bubbly and the
interior temperature reaches 160 degrees. I covered mine with foil 35
minutes in so the cheese wouldn't brown too much. Let mac and cheese
sit for 10 minutes before serving so it can set a bit.
Yield: 8 side dish servings
