  • Mac and Cheese Recipe that beat Bobby Flay

    This is a modified version ( cause I dont need to make enough for 50 ) of the recipe that beat Bobby Flay in a Mac and Cheese throwdown. I can tell you that it is really good and well received - we have used it in a couple of catering gigs and it gets raves. Give it a try but I warn you up front - It is addicting LOL

    7 Cheese Mac and Cheese
    Ingredients
    • 1 pound elbow macaroni
    • 6 eggs
    • 1/2 cup cubed Velveeta cheese
    • 1/4 pound (1 stick) butter, melted
    • 3 cups half-and-half, divided
    • 2 cups grated sharp yellow Cheddar, divided
    • 1 cups grated extra-sharp white Cheddar
    • 3/4 cup grated mozzarella
    • 1/2 cup grated Asiago
    • 1/2cup grated Gruyere
    • 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack
    • 1/2 cup grated Muenster
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 tablespoon black pepper
    Directions
    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until slightly al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside to keep warm.
    Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until frothy.
    Add the Velveeta, butter and 2 cups of the half-and-half to the large bowl of eggs. Add the warm macaroni tossing until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the remaining half-and-half, 1 1/2 cups of the sharp yellow Cheddar, the remaining grated cheeses, and salt and pepper, tossing until completely combined in the large bowl.
    Pour the mixture into 9 by 13-inch casserole or baking dishes (approximately 3 (3-quart) baking dishes) and bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of sharp yellow cheese and bake until golden brown on top, about 30 minutes more.

                  The kids love it but the adults go crazy over it - We catered a charity dinner and served it to the kids only and the adults stole the kids portions and wanted more

                        The cheeses were about $15 and the last time I had done anytihing with Velveta was when I was fishing as a kid - not a big fan here but it does blend in well

                          Sounds like something I'll be trying. Only one question. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup butter (2 sticks). Actually, 1 stick equals 1/2 cup. Do I need two sticks or 1/2 of a stick? Just don't want to screw this up. Thanks.

                            Let me check when I get home and see if I screwed something up

                              The recipe has been corrected - I used the version one of our 4H kids did as a conversion in class and missed the errors
                              Thanks for checking
