Amazing Cajun Mac and Cheese

I recently posted a recipe for lobster Mac and cheese but if I could only eat one Mac and cheese for the rest of my life it would definitely be this one. This Mac and cheese contains Cajun seasoning which is my secret ingredient in a lot of things. I can't get enough of it. 
With the holidays coming up this is the perfect Mac and cheese recipe because it feeds a good amount of people. 

Ingredients
2lbs elbow mac cooked and drained 
1lb sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1lb extra sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (I have tried both) 
2lb block of velveeta 
2c whole milk
4 large eggs beaten
Salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning to taste
1c butter cut into thin slices

Take shredded cheese and mix both kinda together in a bowl 

Pour milk into larger sauce pan and warm
Cut up velveeta and add to milk
Stir continuously until the velveeta melts (it's easy to burn and get brown bits in it) 
If it gets too thick add a little more milk 
Remove from heat 

Beat eggs in separate bowl 
Add a little cheese sauce to the eggs while whisking to temper them then add them to the sauce 

You will need a huge casserole dish for this but I don't have one so I use two smaller ones 

Butter then dish and pour in half the mac 
Add salt, pepper and a bunch of Cajun seasoning over the top 
Then add half the butter slices over the top
Next sprinkle on half of the shredded cheese mixture
Then pour on half of the velveeta cheese sauce 
Then repeat 

This mac and cheese had people asking me for the recipe and it is now a family favorite :)
