Let's Get Started…

Here Is What You Need: 

• 1/2 pound elbow macaroni
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon powdered mustard

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• Fresh black pepper

How To Make It: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.
3. While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt butter. Whisk the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
4. Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with the rest of the cheese.
5. Melt butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for five minutes before serving.

Now you have some of the best baked mac & cheese you will ever have! And I know that everyone who taste it will be in food heaven!
