Alton's Mac and Cheese

Made this for dinner tonight and it was a BIG hit. I thought it was okay, but I am not a big fan of mac and cheese. It was a lot better than the box kind for sure! Stove top Mac and Cheese

From food tv's Good Eats

1/2 pound elbow macaroni

4 tablespoons butter

2 eggs

6 ounces evaporated milk

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (We omitted this)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Fresh black pepper

3/4 teaspoon dry mustard

10 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded

In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Return to the pot and melt in the butter. Toss to coat. Whisk together the eggs, milk, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and mustard. Stir into the pasta and add the cheese. Over low heat continue to stir for 3 minutes or until creamy.
