Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

Step

Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain well. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded Cheddar cheese, milk, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, and hot pepper sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Pour the mixture into a baking dish. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and bubbly, approximately 45 minutes. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. (50 minutes)

For an extra creamy texture, use a combination of sharp Cheddar and Gruyere cheese.
A pinch of nutmeg adds a subtle warmth to the dish.
Feel free to add a crispy breadcrumb topping for added texture.
