1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or hot sauce

1 8oz. block of cheddar cheese, chopped

1 tsp. yellow mustard (or 1/2 tsp. dry mustard)

In a large pot, boil the macaroni as it is written in the package.  Once the pasta is cooked and drained, bring the pasta back into the pan and mix with with the melted butter; place into the crock pot.  Beat 2 egg yolks and add it to the milk to stir.  Pour the yolk-milk mixture into the crock and stir with the macaroni-butter mixture.  Then add the spices and mustard to the crock pot and stir.  Add the chopped block of cheese and half of the five cheese Italian blend.  Stir the macaroni and cheese mixture in the crock pot, set on high, until the cheese melts.  Once the cheese melts, garnish with the shredded cheese and set on low for an hour.
