Need help, southern baked mac didnt turn out right
So for tonights dinner i decided to make southern style mac and cheese, complete with the eggs and evaporated milk, using the binging with babish recipe here, last recipe in the vid. Everything looked perfect, every step of the way, all the way until i dug into it. Super dry, looked almost curdled??? And it tasted like nothing. I really dont get it, because every single recipe i can find seems almost exactly the same, same proportions and everything. And i followed every direction to the letter, besides substituting elbow macaroni for cavatapi. Attached is a photo of mine and a photo of what it was supposed to look like, as in the video. I used my own grated cheese, no bag stuff. Please help :(
