This Southern-style mac and cheese recipe is a true soul food classic! With just a few ingredients, including a generous amount of freshly shredded cheese, butter, and milk, it’s unbelievably hearty, comforting, and crowd-pleasing.
4cupsColby jack cheddar blendor another cheddar blend, freshly shredded
3eggs
½cupunsalted buttermelted
1cupswhole milk
Salt and pepperto taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook macaroni until just al dente or a little under al dente. Be careful not to overcook.
Drain pasta and set aside. Rinse with cool water to stop the cooking. Allow to cool.
In a large bowl, add pasta, salt, pepper, melted butter. Then, add 3 beaten eggs. Stir until well combined.
Add three cups of sharp cheddar cheese to your pasta and mix.
To a greased 9x13 casserole dish, add half of the macaroni mixture. Then, sprinkle two cups of Colby cheddar cheese blend over the pasta. Make sure the cheese is evenly distributed.
Then, top with the remaining macaroni mixture (similar to making a lasagna). Then, pour the milk over your pasta.
Sprinkle the remaining one cup of sharp cheddar cheese and two cups of colby jack over the top.
Bake covered with aluminum foil for 25-35 minutes, stirring halfway through. It may be a bit jiggly when you take it out of the oven. It will firm up as it cools.
Remove the foil and broil until brown.
Let cool for about 10-15 minutes or until fully set, and enjoy!
