Ronald Reagan'S Macaroni And Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 lb macaroni
1 teaspoon butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup milk
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional) or 1/3 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs (optional)

Preparation

Boil macaroni and drain thoroughly. Stir in butter and egg.
Mix salt and mustard with 1 tablespoons hot water. Add to milk. Add the cheese, leaving enough to sprinkle on top. Pour into buttered casserole, add milk, sprinkle with cheese.
Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes or until custard is set and top is crusty.
I like to sprinkle the bread crumbs atop the mac mixture to get a crunchy crust.
