1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound elbow macaroni
8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Muenster cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack
2 cups half-and-half
1 cup (8 ounces) Velveeta, cut into small cubes
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Lightly butter a deep 2 1/2-quart casserole.
Bring the large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the oil, then the elbow macaroni, and cook until the macaroni is just tender, about 7 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well. Return to the cooking pot.
In a small saucepan, melt eight tablespoons of the butter. Stir into the macaroni. In a large bowl, mix the Muenster, mild and sharp Cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheeses. To the macaroni, add the half-and-half, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese, the cubed Velveeta, and the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the buttered casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2-cup of shredded cheese and dot with the remaining one tablespoon of butter.
Bake until it’s bubbling around the edges, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.

I do NOT even wanna know how many calories are in that baby. Looks divine all the same.
You’re right Melanie…it’s somewhere in the upper 700’s. I’ll let you know what everyone says. I made it a bit different the recipe calls for, more cheese!!
Yum. What time’s dinner?
Oh no you didn’t take my mac and cheese recipe!!
Will you marry me? That looks like divine inspiration to me and I do not say that about many Mac and Cheeses!
I thought I came to the wrong blog cause I didn’t realize you cooked. :) I loves me some mac and cheese. I have my own recipe that calls for 5 cheeses. Mmmmm….cheese….love it!!!

Mine would never look so tasty. I live to burn macaroni. But that does indeed look delicious. : )
I love Mac and Cheese. Heck, I just love cheese. Was it as divine as it looks?
Happy belated Easter!
We have this all the time at my MIL’s.
It is fabulous.
FAB-U-LUSS
And BTW, Patty has diabetes.
This is probably why, eating a buncha food like this will kill a b.
Still love it though.
OMG! That’s the recipe I use!! That shit is DELICIOUS.
Yumzers. I could dive right into that pan and roll around.
Drooling! I LOVE mac & cheese–practically lived off the stuff in college–and that looks so good!
Thanks for the recipe! Definitely going to try it!
I love this recipe!!!!
My neighbour used to cook it for us when we were children, yum yum yum!

Thanks for posting this. I made it that night and we all loved it. Even the kiddos who usually balk at anything other than what comes out of the blue box.
I’ve made this before, isn’t it wonderful??? yummm.
