Description

The special trick to this decadent and indulgent macaroni and cheese is baking it. No whisking a roux, no worrying about burning the milk… basically there’s no elbow grease required for this family-friend dinner! You just put everything into the baking dish, kick your feet up, grab a glass of wine, and let your oven do all the work.

Ingredients

  • 1 box (16 Oz. Size) Elbow Pasta, Cooked Until Almost Al Dente
  • 8 ounces, weight Cheddar, Divided (Half Cubed, Half Shredded)
  • 8 ounces, weight Colby Cheese, Cubed
  • 8 ounces, weight Monterey Pepper Jack Cheese, Cubed (or Monterey Jack For Non-spicy)
  • 2 teaspoons All-purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Dry Mustard
  • 4 Tablespoons Sour Cream
  • 1  Large Egg, Beaten
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Half-and-half
  • ¼ cups Finely Grated Onions

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Toss macaroni with cheese cubes and pour into a 2-quart baking dish.

In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients except shredded cheddar (flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, dry mustard, nutmeg, sour cream, egg, heavy cream, half-and-half and onions). Pour over the macaroni and cheese mixture. Cover with shredded cheddar.

Bake uncovered 30–35 minutes, until cheese on top is just beginning to brown.
