1 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp salt

Whisk frequently for about 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Remove 1/4 of the mixture and whisk quickly into the beaten egg until well combined. Whisk the egg mixture into the sauce in the pot. Stir in 4 cups of the cheese once melted stir in the macaroni, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.

I came to your website blog because I just had to have this Mac and Cheese in print. This is my 4th time making it. Grandkids love it. It’s easy and I usually have everything on hand to make it. Thank You Julia.
