Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set a 1 1/2–quart heatproof dish, such as a souffle pan in the oven to warm.
- Mix the bread crumbs and 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter together in a small baking pan and set aside.
- Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt followed by the macaroni. Cook until almost tender, but still a little firm to the bite. Drain the macaroni, transfer it to the preheated dish, and stir in 4 tablespoons of butter.
- Meanwhile, mix the eggs, red pepper sauce, 1 cup of evaporated milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt (or less if you are using American cheese) 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and mustard in a small bowl.
- Pour the egg mixture over the noodles along with 9 ounces of cheese. Stir until thoroughly combined and the cheese starts to melt.
- Place the bread crumbs in the oven to toast until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Place the pan of macaroni and cheese in the oven and bake for a total of 30 minutes, removing the pan 3 times throughout the cooking process to stir the macaroni and add additional evaporated milk and cheese.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with the prepared bread crumbs.
