Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

1. Cook Macaroni:

• Cook the macaroni in salted boiling water until al dente, drain, and set aside.

1. Mix Cheese Sauce:

• In a large bowl, mix together the butter, 2 cups of the grated cheddar cheese, eggs, sour cream, cheddar cheese soup, salt, pepper, milk, and dry mustard. Stir until smooth.

1. Combine:

• Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese mixture, stirring until the pasta is evenly coated.

1. Bake:

• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese. Sprinkle paprika on top if desired.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.

1. Serve:

• Let the mac and cheese cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

• You can add crispy bacon, caramelized onions, or breadcrumbs for extra flavor and texture.
• If you’re looking for a richer sauce, you can substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for the milk.
