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 :)
