7 CHEESE GOURMET CHEDDAR MAC
Other than potatoes, Macaroni & Cheese is my husbands next favorite side dish. In order not to disappoint, I am forever trying to create new ways to make it. I already have 4 recipes posted for Mac & Cheese & this is my 5th. I am glad it was a winner too. because he really enjoyed this one. He loved it so much he even suggested the name. This is a side that you can only eat on a special occasion or once in a while as it is not calorie friendly. Once in awhile is okay as long as you eat it in moderation if you can withstand the temptation. I created it from what I had on hand in the fridge.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook macaroni according to directions on box for al dente or firm, I cooked mine for 7 minutes. Drain. PLEASE NOTE I PURPOSELY DID NOT ADD SALT TO RECIPE BECAUSE OF SODIUM IN THE VARIOUS CHEESES.
- Add to large bowl or pot, then add the cream cheese and butter. STIR TO MIX WHILE HOT. Note I had cooked mine earlier & reheated in microwave.
- Add the evaporated milk, eggs, heavy cream, yellow mustard, chive and black pepper to a medium bowl or large measuring cup, and beat or whisk until all ingredients are blended together.
- Add the gourmet cheddar powder and stir to blend , NOTE: BEFORE I DISCOVERED THAT I COULD ORDER THIS ITEM FROM AMAZON, I WOULD BUY CHEAP MACARONI & CHEESE BOXES AND USE THAT. I NOW ORDER IN THE LARGE SIZE FROM AMAZON. It is optional if you don't have it.
- Cube the Monterey Jack cheese then add to bowl and stir to mix.
- Add the remaining cheeses, reserving 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar for top, & EXCLUDING THE SWISS SLICES and stir to blend together. Spray a medium size casserole dish with non stick cooking spray, then pour in Mac & cheese.
- Sprinkle with additional Black Pepper & chopped chive if desired.
- Cut the Swiss cheese into triangles and add to top of Macaroni & remaining shredded cheddar, then sprinkle with chopped chive if desired. Place in preheated 350 degree F. oven and Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- Remove from oven & allow to rest about 10 minutes then serve.
