Ingredients

16 oz. Large Elbow Macaroni

1/3 cup Real Mayonaise

2 spoons full of Sour Cream

8 oz Sharp Cheddar or Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese

8 oz Colby Jack Cheese

4 oz Medium Cheddar Cheese

2 oz Gruyere Cheese(optional)

1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder

1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning

1/2 teaspoon Nature Seasons

1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

3 cups Half and Half

4 Eggs

1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (1 stick)

Directions

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of water with some salt to a boil. Add macaroni and cook for al-dente noodles, undercooking it slightly helps prevent mushy pasta. Pour into a colander to drain and then put back into pot and add butter and sour cream. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk half and half, real mayonnaise, eggs, and seasonings.

Step 3

Put some melted butter in the bottom of the 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

Step 4

Add the cheeses to the pasta ( from step one) and mix. *** Save half of the Medium Cheddar for the top*** Add the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

Step 5

Pour the liquid ingredients from step 2 over the pasta-cheese mixture evenly distribute the liquid mixture ( make sure the liquid ingredients seep down into the pasta-cheese mixture). Add the reserved Medium Cheddar to the top. Then transfer to the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Pulse check on the macaroni and cheese around the 25-minute mark. If it’s hot and bubbling around the edges, the center liquid is gone and it looks creamy, take it out. After 30 minutes,

Broil on HI for 2-3 minutes to brown cheese (optional) Overcooking the macaroni and cheese can result in dry macaroni.

All ingredients are mixed, now add the reserved cheese on top and bake. We made Macaroni and Cheese for Thanksgiving Dinner:) Our baking dish is bigger than 9-by-13 inch
