How to Make Ah Ha Macaroni And Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

  3. In a large bowl, whisk 4 large eggs until frothy.
  4. In a separate large bowl, combine 24 ounces of velveeta cheese, 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter, and 2 cups of heavy cream. Stir until melted and smooth.
  5. Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese mixture and stir until well combined.
  6. Stir in 3 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or your favorite cheese!), 1 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese (optional), and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
