Yield 8+ people

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups mild cheddar (shredded)
2 cups Colby jack blend (shredded)
1 cup medium cheddar
2 cups shredded Velveeta (or small box)
1 box elbow macaroni or noodle of choice
4 eggs
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 a stick butter
Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

This recipe is for a 13 x 9 pan at least 3 to 4 inches deep. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray pan with non stick spray. Boil noodles as per directions on box until just undercooked. Quick rinse, shake, drain and put to the side. Mix eggs, milk, cream and salt and pepper, whisk until well blended. Pour 1/2 of milk mixture in bottom of the pan. Add a layer of noodles, then add salt and pepper. Take shredded cheese and combine in a bowl, give a quick toss. Top noodles with cheese, mix cheese up a little with noodles and repeat layers. If using box Velveeta, slice pieces over shredded mixture. (Don't forget salt and pepper on each layer.) When you get to top, the last of cheese heavy on top. Take the rest of milk mixture and pour the remaining over the noodles and cheese. Poke holes so milk mixture can get all the way through. Melt butter and pour over mixture. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste. Cover tightly with foil. Bake in oven for 45 minutes. Remove foil and cook 5-10 minutes more until golden. Let stand for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. Always even better the next day.
