Answer 6

I don't have a recipe but I use

Sharp or Extra Sharp cheese, Colby Jack and Mozzarella
(I use four to five blocks of cheese to each box of noodles)
2 eggs
canned milk and whole milk (makes it creamier than whole)
I use the BIG ziti noodles (I like the way it holds the cheese)
Seasoning Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder
I half way cook the noodles because you have to bake it.
Cut the blocks of cheeses up ( let them sit out they will be easier to cut) I use shredded mozzarella.

Drain noodles place back in pot Season Noodles ( not a lot of salt or garlic...cheese has a lot of salt)

Heat a little bit of milk (not super HOT) mix egg in milk (you don't want the egg to scramble in the pot or noodles) pour egg and milk mixture over noodles and stir in the cheeses.

Keep the pot VERY low until the cheese melts how you like it place in pan bake and you have Mac and Cheese ....if making for thanksgiving you may want to practice a little bit before you make the big dish and leave it in the oven with the foil covering for about 30 -35 minutes take foil off leave in oven until it's browned the way you like it. Use good cheeses I like Heluva Good (Personally)

If making a big batch cook each batch separately and mix it together in the baking pan than bake it.....this helps avoid over cooking the noodles and cooking in BULk is hard....this way is a little more time consuming, but helps you in the long run!!!

Answer 7

This is my husband's favorite version I make for him

6 Tbsp butter
1 pound elbow mac
3 12 oz. cans of evaporated milk
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
2 Tbsp favorite hot sauce
1 pound grated sharp cheddar
1/2 pound Velveeta, cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 lightly beaten egg
Kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper
1 cup panko (or any kind of bread crumbs or stovetop stuffing)

Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9x13 baking dish. Boil the pasta, drain and toss with the butter. Over medium heat bring the evaporated milk to a simmer and add to the mac. Add mustard, hot sauce, and cheddar and stir well. Add Velveeta cubes and cream and stir well. The chunks should be swimming in the sauce, not melting right away. Add egg, salt, and plenty of pepper.

Pour it all in the baking dish, top with bread crumbs and dot with butter and bake for 25 or 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
