Macaroni and cheese

Sweetie Pie’s Macaroni and Cheese

Yield: 8 servings.
1 pound elbow macaroni pasta

1 cup whole milk

2 cans (12 ounce) evaporated milk

3 eggs

1 cup butter (2 sticks) cut into small pieces

1/2 pound Colby cheese, shredded

1/2 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

1/2 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

1 pound Velveeta cheese, cut into small chunks

Salt, to taste

1 tablespoon white pepper

1 tablespoon sugar

1 cup shredded American or Mild Cheddar cheese

Directions:
Heat oven to 350F.  Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and transfer the pasta to a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the whole milk, evaporated milk and eggs. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined. Add the butter and Colby, Monterey Jack, Sharp Cheddar, and Velveeta cheeses to the pasta. Pour the milk and egg mixture over the pasta. Season with salt, pepper and sugar, and toss. Sprinkle the top of the pasta with the remaining cup of American or Cheddar cheese. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes (or until the top is lightly golden brown).

    I have never made a baked macaroni and cheese before ( only from the box )and have been anxious to make one so I finally got to try this one last night for dinner. Everyone loved it!! They said it’s a keeper! Will def make this again.

    I made this tonight as a trial for my Labor Day cookout and OMG it is so yummy! The creamiest mac and cheese I’ve ever had!

    I hated the White Pepper in this. I found another one by the same chef, but without the White Pepper and with 1 cup of sour cream. Got to be better!

    I never would have thought a small amount of white pepper could have turned someone off so much. Often spicier notes are used in Mac and Cheese to enhance its flavor.

    Once you’ve had real homemade mac and cheese, the orangy looking box mix will never be the same! Plenty of cheese and buttered crumbs on top. We even made it for our Christmas dinner one year!

    THE BEST! Made it last year for Thanksgiving after seeing her restaurant on “Diner’s Drive-Inn’s and Dive’s.” It was a hit with my family … who are picky eaters and usually don’t like much of nothing. :o )

  • Sparked2Change

    Hi, it’s me again. I should have mentioned I did’t use “white pepper.” I used “black pepper” to taste. Other than that, I followed the recipe … and it was PERFECT!
