Mac and Cheese - The Individual serving

I love Grandma Bev's Mac and Cheese, but I don't really need to make the whole 9x13 pan every time I'm craving the gooey golden goodness. I mean I REALLY don't need it because it would just be up to me to eat it all, and that is not necessary.

So, last night, I did a bit of an experiment. Recently, I acquired two small Corningware individual casseroles with lids. They were just the thing for my experiment. I decided to use the leftover noodles I had from dinner to make a revised single-serving version of Grandma's Macaroni and Cheese. I ended up making two single servings because I remembered that I would be celebrating someone's birthday at work and therefore I might as well surprise her with a free lunch.

I was a little worried about the proportions of the dish because I didn't exactly know how to measure it out and when the 9x13 recipe calls for 2 eggs and you are only making 1/4 of the recipe, how can you really split an egg? So, I improvised, and the results were glorious.
