famous Southern Baked 5-Cheese MAC!
If you don’t like standing in the kitchen, this isn’t the recipe for you. I do have a smaller version for those who’d like to keep it simple... sometimes simple isn’t all that fun though 😋 .. so for my Chefs and Chefs at Home .... Here you go! 😘
Ingredients:
1 Box Elbow MAC
1 can Evaporate Milk
1 cup Regular Milk
2 Eggs
1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese
1 cup Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Medium Sharp Cheddar
1 cup Sharp Cheddar
1 cup Smoked Gouda* (optional)
1/2 Cup Flour
1/4 Cup Butter
Salt/Pepper
1 teaspoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Dry Mustard
1/2 cup Mayo (best foods)
1/2 cup Sour Cream
Put it all together: 😍
1. Heat Butter on Medium-High and let it melt, but not burn.
2. Stir bits of flour in butter until it becomes like a paste(Roux). Pour in both types of milks and stir. Turn to med-low.
3. Season your milk mixture. If you want to make your macaroni more orange/yellow then add 1 package of Sazon Seasoning (orange packet)... otherwise add the remaining dry seasonings above to your liking.
4. Cheese time! Add cheese(s). Let it melt while stirring.
5. Add elbow noodles to a buttered dish. Pour Roux(Cheese Sauce) over the macaroni. Add two eggs, Mayo, Sour Cream and stir. Top macaroni mixture with Extra sharp cheddar cheese.
