Green Chile Macaroni and Cheese

4 cups macaroni, dry
1 egg beaten (I used 1/4 cup of egg beaters)
4 tablespoons of butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk (I used reduced fat milk)
2 large teaspoons dry mustard
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar
1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1-7 ounce can of green chiles

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Cook the macaroni according to box instructions and then rinse and drain.

In a small bowl beat the egg.  Then in  a skillet over medium heat melt the butter and whisk in the flour.  Whisk for 5 minutes but be sure to not let it burn.  Then pour in your milk and whisk all of that together for 5 minutes and then add your dry mustard still whisking and do so for another 5 minutes and then reduce heat to low.

Then slowly add 1/4 cup of the milk mixture to the egg mixture, just to be sure not to cook the egg, whisk while doing this.  Then add the egg mixture back to the skillet of milk mixture.  Then whisk in all but 1/2  a cup of the cheddar cheese and mix until that is all melted and thick.  Add the remaining seasoning and the green chiles.

Then mix the creamy mixture with the macaroni and pour into a greased baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.

Bake for 30-40 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.

Enjoy!!!!
