Grandma's Southern Mac and Cheese
This is my grandmother's macaroni and cheese recipe that we all crave and only get to have twice a year, if we play our cards right. Fairly simple and straightforward. The key is cooking time more than anything.

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 didn't use nearly as much cheese as the recipe called for. I think I would use a little less mustard next time also. Overall the recipe turned out really good. I doubled it for a funeral and every bit of it was gone.
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.
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.
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.
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!
This recipe was very good and easy to make next time I think I'll follow the instructions to the T I kind of diverted from it but it still turned out good
This is the same mac and cheese I was raised on. I still make it the same way my grandmother made it. I love it.
Was very disappointing. The only flavor was cheddar cheese. Will not make again. Makes box make and cheese taste amazing.
I tried it, it was super bland. I'll add salt and bread crumbs next time.
I used shredded cheddar instead of sliced and it turned out so delicious!
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!!
