Southern Style Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook until just al dente.

Drain the macaroni well and return it to the pan. Stir in 3/4ths of the grated Cheddar, dry mustard powder, eggs, and just enough milk to bring the liquid just up to the top of the pasta.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese melts.

Pour the macaroni and cheese into a 3-quart baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until it is mostly set in the middle.

Remove the foil, top with the remaining cheese, and bake for 5 more minutes. Let the mac and cheese sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Optional: top with chopped green onions or diced, cooked bacon.
