How to Make Baked Macaroni And Cheese Deen Bros
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
- Cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and return to the saucepan.
- While macaroni is still hot, add 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or your favorite cheese blend) to the saucepan. Stir until melted and well combined.
- Spread the macaroni and cheese mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 large eggs, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) melted butter, 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Pour the milk mixture evenly over the macaroni and cheese.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. The center should be set and no longer jiggly.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
