Using one pound of elbow macaroni noodles, eight ounces of Monterey Jack, eight ounces of sharp cheddar, eight ounces of white cheddar, an eight-ounce package of cream cheese, eight ounces of mozzarella, and 16 ounces of Velveeta cheese, this dish has to have some sort of record for dairy ingredients! SimplyFoodByTy touches on the importance of using a full-fat content butter for this recipe, as well as the value in not overcooking your noodles. Then the video goes on to express how rinsing of the noodles isn’t necessary, considering the value of the starch in the final product. He also uses whole milk and half-and-half, continuously mixing so that there aren’t any lumps or clumps in the roux. The rest of the instructions are fairly easy to follow, incorporating the cheese into the mixture prior to mixing the sauce with the noodles and adding (yes, adding,) another eight-ounce bag of shredded sharp cheddar to the top of this dish before baking.
We don’t know how you feel about this being called a “southern” recipe, but honestly, as far as Texas goes, this could fast become a staple this winter! Will it be costly? Absolutely!
