Lulu's favorite. Grandma Sanders makes it often. Boxed mixes are a poor imitation.

MACARONI & CHEESE

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

1/2 pound macaroni
1 teaspoon butter
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3 cups grated sharp American cheese
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 cup milk

Cook the macaroni in water until almost tender and drain thoroughly. Stir in butter and egg.

Mix mustard and salt with 1 tablespoon hot water and add to milk.

Stir in pressed garlic bits - the pieces must be tiny.

Add cheese, leaving out 1/2 cup to sprinkle on top. Pour into a buttered casserole. Add milk.

Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 45 minutes or until custard has set and top is crusty.
