6 CHEESE MAC & CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Once the butter is melted, let it brown slightly to add a depth of flavor. Stir in the flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly to avoid it sticking and burning. Pour in the half and half and the heavy cream and stir until it comes to a boil and starts to thicken. Stir in 4 cups of cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika and sour cream. Cook for 3 minutes on a low heat, stirring frequently until it forms a smooth sauce. Add in the cooked pasta and stir well. Transfer into a baking dish and top with a cup of cheese and a sprinkle of smoked paprika. Cook for 30-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.

6-CHEESE MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Boil elbow macaroni in plenty of salted water until al dente. Drain.
• Grease a 9 X 13-inch pyrex baking dish. Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, in a small processor, combine milk, cream cheese, mustard, garlic, hot sauce and salt.
• Pour drained pasta and milk/cream cheese mixture back into pot pasta was cooked in . Allow to 'sit' in pot for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This is an important step and must not be left out as it allows the sauce to start thickening and be absorbed by the pasta and not just settle in the bottom of the baking dish. After 15 minutes, add various cheeses and beaten eggs and mix well altogether.
• Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake until golden-brown and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.
• Note: This recipe can be made even more decadent by browning 1/2 cup of dry breadcrumbs in 1 tblsp melted butter in a small skillet. Stir in 1/4 cup parmesan cheese at the end and sprinkle over mac and cheese for final 10 minutes of baking.
