Creamy Baked Macaroni And Cheese image

Velveeta, cream cheese, half and half, and egg give this comforting dish a rich, cheesy flavor with a custardy texture. I experimented by combining ideas from several recipes and my whole family was thrilled with the results!

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 ounces macaroni
12 ounces Velveeta cheese
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (canned is fine)
1 beaten egg
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Boil noodles until done.
  • While noodles are cooking, grease a rectangular glass casserole dish.
  • After noodles are drained and have cooled for a few minutes, put them in casserole dish and mix with beaten egg.
  • Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter on medium-low heat and add flour to make a paste.
  • Add half and half and bring to a boil on medium-high heat.
  • Reduce heat and add velveeta and cream cheese in small chunks.
  • Stir and add seasonings (last four ingredients).
  • After all the cheese is melted and the sauce has a medium thick consistency (you may need to play around with the half and half or milk to get the consistency you prefer), pour it over the noodles.
  • Stir noodles with sauce until they are combined.
  • Sprinkle parmesan over the top.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for 30-45 minutes (I wait until it's a little browned).
