Servings: persons

1 lb macaroni (your favorite, I used shells)
6 cups cheese (shredded, your choice, I used a combination of cheddar and colby)
5 cups milk (I used whole)
8 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 egg (beaten)
1 cup breadcrumbs (I used panko)

1
Cook pasta, only al-dente. You will be cooking it in the oven, so you don't want to overcook it. Rinse with cool water and drain well. Return to pan with a little butter to prevent sticking and set aside.
2
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
3
Melt 6 Tbs. butter over medium heat in large saucepan. Add flour, salt, black pepper, dry mustard, and paprika. Stir constantly for 3 minutes. Add milk, whisking constantly for 10 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
4
Remove 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly stir into your beaten egg to temper the egg. Add the egg mixture to the sauce.
5
Add 4 cups of the shredded cheese to the sauce, return pan to heat, stirring until cheese is melted. Pour sauce over pasta.
6
Pour 1/2 of the pasta into a 9 X 13 casserole dish, then sprinkle with 1/2 of the remaining shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining pasta and cheese.
7
Melt 2 Tbs. butter and combine with your bread crumbs. Sprinkle on top of pasta.
8
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, or until top is bubbly and starting to brown.
