This is the Mac and Cheese I am making tomorrow for Christmas. It sounds very rich and fat-filled, but oh so good, being a Paula Deen recipe! I will probably use more macaroni than the recipe calls for so that it won't be quite as rich and overly cheesy. (probably 3 cups dried macaroni) The Ultimate Lady's Cheesy Mac and Cheese Ingredients: 2 cups dried elbow macaroni (4 cups cooked) 1/3 cup grated Cheddar 1/3 cup grated Swiss 1/3 cup grated Jack 1/3 cup grated colby 1/3 cup grated Muenster 1/3 cup grated Gouda 1/2 cup sour cream 4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces 3 eggs 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 cup milk Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large pot bring water to boil. Season with salt and cook macaroni until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl. While still hot, add all the cheeses. In a separate medium bowl, using a whisk, combine the sour cream, butter, eggs, salt, pepper, and milk. Add to the macaroni mixture. Spray a casserole dish with nonstick spray and pour macaroni mixtrue into the dish. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown. Top with additional cheese, if desired.
