Homemade Macaroni & Cheese!

For the upcoming holidays or just a wonderful warm side dish, try this baked macaroni & cheese. It is one of my favorites (and I don't like macaroni & cheese - mainly because I had to make it every night while my kids were little it was their fav!). For a healthier twist use whole wheat pasta! It is wonderful. Do not omit the dried mustard as it add a special zing to the recipe.

8 oz. macaroni

1 tsp. butter

1 egg, beaten

3 Cups grated sharp cheese

1 tsp. dry mustard

1 tsp. salt
