Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 lbs. elbow macaroni (linguine or shell pasta is also good with this recipe)
1 stick of butter
6 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 T. ground dry mustard (level)
3-4 cups of whole milk
1 lb. cubed or grated cheese (sharp cheddar is good, but can also combine any type)
Extra grated cheese for the topping
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a large deep baking dish with non stick spray. Cook and drain pasta. (Do not overcook! This goes into the oven later.) Put the drained pasta back into the hot empty pot and add your 1 pound of cheese and the stick of butter. Stir until the cheese and butter are melted through the pasta. Transfer this into the baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs with milk, plenty of salt and pepper, and dry mustard. This will give you a milk custard mixture. Pour this mixture over all of the pasta in the dish. It will seem very soupy. Not to worry. It bakes firm and gooey. Top with as much grated cheese as you desire and bake in the oven, uncovered, until hot and bubbly and cheese just starting to brown.
**This is not a good dish if you are on a diet. Make it anyway.
**1 lb. of cheese is optional....you can never have too much cheese!!
**Our family likes a "soggy" baked macaroni, so we use the 4 cups of milk. Adjust according to your taste.
This recipe is easily doubled and serves a large crowd.
