Grandma's Southern Mac and Cheese Recipe

Good basic starter recipe. I added salt and pepper to each layer and poured the milk/egg mixture over each layer rather than pouring all at once over the top. It was easy and quick.

I amended the recipe. I did use a lb of macaroni but I used 2 eggs , 3 cups of seriously sharp cheddar cheese (shredded), 1 tsp of ground mustard and 1 3/4 cups of milk. I layered the macaroni and cheese and salt and pepper, ending with cheddar cheese. I poured the egg-milk mixture over each layer as I worked. I sprinkled panko bread crumbs on top and baked it for 40 minutes in a 9x13 pan. Once done, I placed it under the broiler for 2 minutes and walah! There were 6 of us and there was none left.

So this turned out to be a big hit! I made a few modifications. I only used enough cheese to cover each layer sufficiently. Definitely did not use not use about asked for. I reduced the ground mustard by 1/2 and added 1 tsp of each: garlic granules, onion granules, paprika, salt and 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper to the egg/milk mixture. I also sprinkled panko on top and broiled at the end of the cook time to get the nice golden brown, crisp top. Quick and easy side dish!

Rhett u hit a home run with this recipe at our house!! This recipe is similar to a family recipe I use. I was intrigued by the addition of mustard. I cut recipe in half because there’s only two of us then made as directed with the exception of butter..( I am a southerner who cannot live without butter in about every recipe ??) so I did add butter. My husband and I loved it ! . I will definitely make again and again!!

I halved the recipe because I was making it for three people. I seasoned each layer, using seasoned salt instead of regular salt. I also used mustard powder instead of yellow mustard. I added a breaded topping. It came out well. Needs to set up after coming out of the oven.

Good....way too much cheese, i didn't use 1/4 that much ?? cheese

This is delicious! I added green onions and ham chunks when I brought to family party. It was gone in minutes. Then the next time I made it I added smoked pablanos and bacon chunks. It was the best Mac and cheese to date. Ty!

This was pretty good. I didn't use 4lbs of cheese though. That just seemed like a lot for a pound of pasta. I used about 1.5lbs shredded not sliced. Also cut the mustard powder down. Seasoned each layer with salt and pepper. Straight out of the oven it was a little runny but it set up nice. I really was not thrilled with how it handled being reheated the next day.

was ok but had to change amount of cheese drastically or would be cheese soup, I used 1 pound cheese and half a cup of milk and 3 eggs

Good recipe. Very similar to my grandmothers'. I used 3 kinds of cheese, a hearty pinch of sugar and approximately a 1/8 tsp of ground mustard powder. My family loved it.

Because it was for 2 people for dinner I cut the servings in half. I used one package of 16 oz. It came out very good ! I will make it again.

Very cheesy! I mixed the egg mixture with the noodles before layering and used less cheese and it turned out great😋

A better way to mix the macaroni with the egg/milk mixture is to pour the drains macaroni, a large bowl and then put the complete egg milk mixture into the bowl and Starr thoroughly. Then do the layering.

This grandma definitely knows how to make a delicious mac and cheese. I followed the directions and everything came together quite easily. The flavors are so good, perfectly rich and creamy without being overpowering. The mustard also seals the deal, brings such a great balance to the whole dish. A family favorite for sure.

This was a delicious recipe. I added onion to it and I also added more salt & pepper. Turned out delicious. Next time I may cut the recipe in half though, since I'm only one person. I also didn't add mustard.

Good simple recipe, love it. But it should be called North Eastern or Jersey Mac, same recipe has been made here for years.

Made it for the family and everyone asked for seconds.

Very good
