With the weather cooling off here in Bastrop Texas I got a huge craving for some good old fashioned hearty mac and cheese.  Nothing is better on a chilly evening that some comfort food!

I have a recipe that my Mom gave me years ago but it was nothing fancy and it seemed to be lacking some gusto ( I love my Mom but sometimes her cooking is a little plain...) so I found this recipe in the latest issue of Southern Living -  my new most favorite magazine.

The recipe is from Mama Dip's Family Cookbook.

Ingredients are:

one cup of "dry" milk, 1/4 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 pound of your favorite shredded sharp cheese, a half of stick of butter ( melted ) , 2 beaten eggs, and one box/bag ( 16 oz.) of macaroni prepared as directed, and last but not least 1/2 cup of bread crumbs.

Instructions are:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, mix the first eight ingredients in a big bowl and then add the macaroni, and then pour into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish.  Top it off with the bread crumbs and back for 45 minutes.  You should have plenty to serve six. 

The only thing I think I am going to add the next time I make it is some Anaheim peppers to warm it up just a little more.

Enjoy!
