VERY CHEESY MAC 'N' CHEESE


Here is one of my favorite recipes for macaroni and cheese, I know everyone will like. The secret to bonding the cheese with the macaroni is using mozzarella cheese in place of an egg. Eggs have a tendency to take away from the flavor of the cheese and changes it entirely. Mozzarella cheese not only bonds but compliments all of the cheese used. So here is my tasty recipe for very cheesy Mac 'N' cheese.


3 quarts of rapidly boiling water
1 tablespoon of salt
1lb of macaroni

1lb of cheddar cheese
2 cups of milk
1 lb of American cheese
1lb of Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 lb of sour cream
1/2 lb of mozzarella cheese
1/2 lb of velveeta
1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
1/4 teaspoon of white pepper
1/8 teaspoon of salt
4 teaspoons of butter

In a 4 quart sauce pan boil the water. When the water starts to boil rapidly add the salt and macaroni. After the macaroni is cooked drain the water from the macaroni. Place the macaroni in a greased baking dish. Grate the cheddar, American, and Monterey Jack cheese and add half of it to the macaroni.

While the macaroni is boiling start making your cheese sauce. In a sauce pan simmer the milk. Slowly stir in the butter, sour cream, the Velveeta, the other half of the cheddar, American, and Monterey Jack cheese. Add the salt, pepper, and onion powder. Stir until all of the cheese is melted. Pour the sauce over the macaroni in the baking dish. Blend the sauce with the cheese that is already there. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top of the macaroni and gently blend it in with the sauce and the other cheeses.

Preheat oven and bake at 350° for about 1/2 hour or until the Mac 'N' Cheese is golden brown.



Yum! Yum!
