MEYME'S MACARONI AND CHEESE

3/4 pound elbow macaroni, cooked according to package directions
2 Tbsp butter, preferably unsalted
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/2 tsp Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (8 oz.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a medium-size baking dish. Toss the warm macaroni with the butter.

In a medium-size bowl, beat the eggs lightly and add the buttermilk, evaporated milk, dry mustard, Tabasco, pepper, and the salt. Mix well. Stir in the Macaroni and the cheese and pour into the prepared dish.

Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the macaroni and cheese is lightly firm and browned. Serve warm.

Any leftovers should be reheated gently to avoid developing the consistency of galvanized rubber.
