I had macaroni and cheese once at a party. It had eggs in it which kind
of made it like pasta in a creamy custard, which I've never had before,
but it was so good. And it was not all orange cheesy. Anybody have a
recipe for anything like this? FYI, it was in New Orleans, and the
cook was an elderly black lady, so maybe it's a kind of soul food
thing, maybe, maybe not.

I have never heard of any mac 'n cheese that has eggs in it. Urp.

Just make it like quiche (use same proportion of milk to eggs) but use
macaroni & cheese instead of other stuff. See? Simple. LOL.

The only "orange cheesy" mac 'n cheese is Kraft, so don't even compare
a good mac 'n cheese with that blue box stuff. It's gross.

Use a mix of cheeses like Colby-Colby
Jack-Cheddar-Swiss-Ementhaler-Gruyere -- whatever you like.

We just love this one for good old fashion Macaroni and cheese. It's very
rich and we wouldn't have it often. I've made it with a variety of cheddar
cheeses and it's been good every time.

Its a different style of macaroni and cheese.
The easy way is to cook the macaroni and grate the cheese. Beat two
eggs with at least 1.5 cups of milk. layer the macaroni and cheese
into a baking dish. Pour in the liquid, top with breadcrumbs and bake.

If you don't want orange cheese, then use a light colored one like
Fontina or Gruyere.

This is a crockpot dish that tastes like a custardy baked mac & cheese
casserole.
