Ahhhh-mazing Mac & Cheese

When I was growing up, my Mom used to always make the most amazing Mac & Cheese, always baked to perfection & delicious. 
I recently moved into my own home, & begged her for the recipe. I made this for a few friends that said "this is better than Paula Deans"

so...Here it is

  • 2 cups (before cooking) dry large elbow macaroni, cooked & drained
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (mexican style works best)
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  1. Preheat oven to 375, grease 2-quart round casserole dish
  2. In a medium sauce pan, combine cornstarch, salt, dry mustard & pepper
  3. Stir in evaporated milk, water and butter, cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly (or it will burn on bottom) until mixture comes to a boil.
  4. Boil 1 minute, remove from heat. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese until melted.
  5. Place cooked macaroni in greased casserole dish and top with cheese mixture, mix well. 
  6. Top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and light brown
