Photo: Delilah's 7 Cheese Mac and Cheese Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 pounds elbow macaroni
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup cubed Velveeta cheese
- 1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, melted
- 6 cups half-and-half, divided
- 4 cups grated sharp yellow Cheddar, divided
- 2 cups grated extra-sharp white Cheddar
- 1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella
- 1 cup grated Asiago
- 1 cup grated Gruyere
- 1 cup grated Monterey Jack
- 1 cup grated Muenster
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 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, 3 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 cup of sharp yellow cheese and bake until golden brown on top, about 30 minutes more.
Serve hot.

Ive been reading the reviews and the recipe tells you to use (3 9x13 pans. If you are only using 1 that is why it spills over. I have been making this ever since I saw it on TV I bought her whole cookbook. My family loves when I make this I even freeze it and mail it.

This Mac was beyond decadent. Quite the expense but well worth it. I would definitely alter the recipe quite a bit the second time around... Use 2-3 Eggs and cut the amount of cream to 4 cups and possibly use 1 stick of butter. As many others said I agree quantity is far too much for a 9 x13 pan. I split the dish into two different baking dishes.... The Dish was extremely filling!! (I added Hickory Bacon as a Garnish and it was a nice addition

This mac n cheese was a hit at our friend's Easter BBQ. I did modify it a tiny bit. First of all...this will never fit in a 9 x 13 pan. Buy a deep lasgna throw away if you are going to a BBQ or 2 deep 9 x 13 if you want it to look pretty. I only used 4 eggs but will try 2 eggs next time. I also used the whole pound of Velveeta. Everyone loved it. It was super easy and I grated all the cheese with my food processor the day before. I also took out the butter and half and half and Velveeta about an hour before I mixed so it would be easier to melt. Must try. Yum!!!!
