REAL DEAL: Southern Mac & Cheese

REAL DEAL: Southern Mac & Cheese

Ingredients

  • 8 to 10 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1½ teaspoons white pepper
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, cut into small pieces
  • 8 ounces shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 8 ounces Colby-Jack
  •  shredded mild cheddar cheese ( for sprinkling on top)

Instructions 

 

  • Preheat oven to 350º. Bring large pot of water to boil and then salt generously. Cook macaroni just shy of package directions, al dente is what you want it to be. DO NOT OVERCOOK.  Drain well and place back in large pot.

 

  • In same pasta pot, whisk together whole milk, salt, pepper and garlic powder until combined. Add butter, Sharp Cheddar & Colby Jack and cream of mushroom soup and elbows.  Stir to combine.  Layer pasta and left over cheese almost like you would a lasagna with shredded mild cheddar and top with the remainder.

 

  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned on top. Let rest 10 minutes or so before serving. Enjoy!
