BYG's Southern Mac n Cheese
⚠ this Mac n cheese will surely knock your diet back a week or so.
It's one of the most requested dishes for our family gatherings, and is solely meant for large groups. You have to make this dish with love to serve it perfectly. I suggest tasting noodles for texture, melted cheese for flavor, and the seasoned noodles & cheese mixture for taste. This helps to make sure you don't over or under season the dish.
The cheeses needed for shredding can be from the deli or the 8 & 16oz blocks sold in the dairy section. I use Kraft blocks for the Monterrey and Mozzarella, Great Value for sharp cheddar, and splurge a little on the Muenster by getting a higher end brand.

Cut Velveeta cheese into easy to melt blocks.
- 2
Shred the remaining cheeses into a large bowl. Mix lightly but well, cover, and place in refrigerator

Dissolve 1 Tbs Kosher salt in large boiler. Boil noodles per directions on box, drain, set aside. I sprinkle a little salt and mix the noodles to reduce sticking.

Pour milk into saucepan over medium heat. Add blocks of Velveeta cheese. Stir every 2-4 minutes until melted. Be careful not to scorch the cheese. Lightly dust with some Cayenne Pepper when stirring.

In a small bowl, whisk eggs.

Scoop out a cup or so of cheese sauce when ready, and slowly add to eggs. This step is important as you don't want eggs to cook.

Gram's Baked Mac n Cheese Gram's Baked Mac n Cheese
My Grandma grew up poor and had a very no fuss approach to cooking- no fancy ingredients, just a few basics with her special little touches. This was her "famous" recipe that everyone begged her to make for just about every occasion. It may seem alot simpler than most mac n cheese recipes you come across, but its delicious! Feel free to throw in whatever cheese you have hangin around, thats what my gram always did!
