Accidental Verbosity-Yay!
The Jedi’s Spicy Baked Mac and Cheese
–Deb at 02:29 PM–

This is a recipe I adapted from somewhere (where is lost in the mists of time, I’m afraid) and am thinking it’s time to make again soon. If needed, cut the spices even further or re-spice to your taste. This makes a firm, casserole-y sort of dish, rather than a creamy mac. I tend to use it as a main dish, accompanied by a couple of veggies.

1/2 pound macaroni or small noodle of your choice
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil macaroni until tender; drain. In mixing bowl, dissolve spices in 1 tbsp of hot water. Add egg and milk and beat well, then add cheese and butter and mix. Combine egg/cheese mixture and macaroni. Pour into greased baking dish. Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and the top is golden brown.
