My version of Sweetie pies mac n cheese
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
****Not a low fat/cal meal****Macaroni, enriched, 3 cup elbow shapedCheddar Cheese, 1 cup, shredded*Kraft Finely Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese, 1 cup*Velveeta Cheese Product, 8 ozMilk, 2%, 1.5 cup*Colby and Monterey Jack Cheese shredded, 1 cupButter, salted, 3 tbspPepper, black, 1 tbspGranulated Sugar, 1 tspSour Cream, .5 cupEgg, fresh, 2 largeSalt, 1 tbsp
Preheat oven to 350
Cook macaroni until just al dente or a little under al dente. (Look on the back of the box to see how long you need to cook your pasta for it to reach al dente.) Be careful no to overcook.
Drain pasta and set aside.
In a large bowl, add milk, heavy cream & cheeses (except for the smoked cheddar).
Stir to combine.
Taste the milk mixture and add salt & pepper until it has a good taste. You can also add in other seasonings like onion, paprika, etc. Tasting will help avoid having a plain, bland bake macaroni & cheese. Yuck!
When you are content with the taste, add in the eggs.
Stir well until combined.
Butter a 9 x 9 inch baking dish.
Add macaroni to the baking dish.
Pour cheese mixture over macaroni.
Make sure the cheese distributed well.
Top with cheddar cheese. (I add a little more Colby jack as well.) Sprinkle with paprika and/or black pepper, if desired.
Bake for 35-45 minutes. Do not overbake. It may be a bit jiggly when you take it out of the oven. It will firm up as it cool.
Let cool for about 10-15 minutes or until fully set.
Serving Size: 6 (cooking in a 9x9 pan) Good size portions as it really is the main course
