1/2 teaspoon garlic salt


1/2 teaspoon sugar


1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Cook the macaroni in a large pan of salted boiling water. Do not overcook, al dente is best.


While the macaroni is boiling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.


In another saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and then add the flour, whisking as you go. Stir in the milk. When bubbling, add pepper, paprika, garlic salt, sugar, and dry mustard. Simmer for ten minutes.


Stir in the egg; mix well.


Gradually add the cheese.


Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan or a shallow 1 1/2 quart baking dish.


Drain the macaroni and add to the baking pan. Gently toss with the mixture.

3 tablespoons butter


1 cup of plain breadcrumbs


Salt


Pepper


[edit]Instructions

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the macaroni.


Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the bread crumbs are golden brown. This recipe serves six to eight.


[edit]Variations


The beauty of this recipe is that it can be varied according to your preferences. Instead of cheddar, use Colby or Monterey Jack cheese, or a combination of both. Some prefer only American cheese. Since the cheese is one of the main ingredients, make sure it is a good quality as well as the kind your family likes.





You can replace half of the milk with sour cream or, for a richer flavor, use 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1 1/2 cups of cream.
I really can't imagine it making a ton of difference in the taste of mac and cheese. Go ahead and try it but I think the cheese will overpower the taste of the sugar and you won't notice it. If you're looking for something different try different kinds of cheeses. My dad gets cheap cheese ends from the supermarket, they are just assorted cheeses of any kind that the deli department has leftover. People think it's some sort of fancy recipe for mac and cheese because it is so flavorful.
I would think that the sugar is just a little bit and it would be melted with the cheese before it's poured into the mac. But, to be on the safe side, I'd ask the woman you got the recipe from.
