Simple Mac and Cheese

This is mac and cheese in it's simplest form - only 4 ingredients!  Some might not like this because it doesn't have a creamy sauce, but we love it for it's simple, cheesy tang.  When I was pregnant with Ezra this was one of my few cravings.  And in full disclosure, this recipe came from Aaron.  He doesn't cook often, but when he does it's always good!  Unless he's making jambalaya, but that's a story for another time...

Simple Mac and Cheese
An Aaron Kahler original

1 16-ounce box macaroni
4 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
2 tablespoons mustard

Cook macaroni according to directions on the package.  Drain water and return to pot but remove from the heat.  Quickly add remaining ingredients and stir until cheese and butter are melted and all is well combined.  Feel free to add more butter and/or cheese if you desire an even richer taste!
