Cook a 12-ounce pack of elbow macaroni about halfway; it doesn't matter if it's a little more cooked.

Measure out 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and set some aside for topping.

Add 2 cups of milk to the cheese in a bowl.

Add 2 and a quarter cups of melted butter to the mixture.

Add 1 slightly beaten egg to the mixture.

Mix all the ingredients together well.

Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Spray the baking dish with cooking spray.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Pour the halfway cooked macaroni into the baking dish.

Pour the cheese mixture over the macaroni and mix to ensure cheese is distributed.

Cover the top with the reserved cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes until lightly brown on top.
