16-oz. pkg. elbow macaroni, uncooked
1 egg
1/2 c. butter, divided
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
2-1/2 c. skim milk
2 t. dry mustard
16-oz. pkg. shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 t. seasoned salt
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1-1/2 c. soft bread crumbs, divided
Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside. Meanwhile, beat egg in a medium bowl and set aside. In a large saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium-low heat. Add flour and cook, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes. Add milk and mustard; whisk until smooth. Continue to cook and whisk until sauce is very thick, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Remove 1/4 cup of hot milk mixture and slowly add it to the egg, whisking until combined. Pour this mixture back into the saucepan and stir. Set aside 1/2 cup cheese for topping. Add remaining cheese to mixture in saucepan; stir until completely melted. Stir in seasonings and macaroni. Melt remaining butter; toss with bread crumbs. Sprinkle half of crumb mixture into a greased 3-quart casserole dish; spoon in macaroni mixture. Top with remaining crumb mixture and cheese. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbly and golden. Serves 8.
