Steps

1 hour

1

Preheat oven to 350°F.
2

In a large pot, bring water to boil. Season water with salt and cook macaroni until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3

While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, sour cream, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.
4

Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
5

Spray casserole dish with nonstick spray. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
6

Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.
