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.

Best Ever Mac & Cheese!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am still learning to cook and my boyfriend tells me all the time that I still need a lot of help. I made this for him and... he was absolutely floored how good it was and that I made it! It was soo easy too. Most cheeses now come pre-shredded so that was nice for me. I made an extra dish for my girlfriend that just had a baby & her whole family couldn't stop talking about how they've never had better Mac & Cheese before.Read more

I'm a Fan of This Recipe...We Love it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe several times for my family, friends and they just loved it. I've tried other recipes that were... good, but didn't get the reviews that this one did. Of course it's a lot of cheeses & eggs; but you all have a choice. Tweek it to your taste or try another recipe. There are thousands of other recipes out there! This recipe yields the taste and consistency that we desire. THANKS FOR THE RECIPE DELILAH!Read more

Not Good - marginal
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I made half a recipe, thankfully. The whole egg thing makes no sense to me. The very best mac and cheese is the Delmonico... restaurant recipe. Bar none.Read more

It was Ok...
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Honestly, I was super excited about this recipe. We have been thinking about making this recipe for quite a while now and... about $40 and a couple of hours later, we are a little disappointed. It tastes more like an cheese omelet than mac n cheese. The eggs are just a bit too overwhelming. If you want a creamy mac n cheese, go with a recipe that doesn't call for too many eggs.Read more
