Why didn’t they teach me this in culinary school?!!

Описание: 🧀 Maebelle’s Southern Mac and cheese recipe

• 1lb uncooked pasta, macaroni (even though I make Maebelle angry I rather use Cavatappi)
• 4 tbs unsalted butter
• 1/2cup sour cream
• 1 can evaporated milk I like to use @carnationmilks
• 2 cups heavy cream or whole milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp coarse salt
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp black pepper.

• 1lb cheddar cheese ( I use sharppp)
• 1lb Colby jack cheese

Maebelle’s Baked Mac & Cheese 🧡 (no cheese sauce, no extra bowl!)

1️⃣ Cook 1 lb of pasta until al dente. Drain it, then put the pasta back into the same warm pot (heat turned off).

2️⃣ Add the butter and mix with the hot pasta, once melted add sour cream, evaporated milk, heavy cream or whole milk, egg and all the seasonings directly into the pot with the pasta. Stir until everything is creamy and the pasta is fully coated. (It should look loose—this is exactly right.)

3️⃣ Add half of your shredded cheese blend into the pot and fold it in.
The other half stays on the side for layering.

4️⃣ Pour in half the pasta, spread it out, then cover that layer with plenty of the reserved cheese blend.

5️⃣ Add the remaining pasta on top and finish with the rest of the cheese.

6️⃣ Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

7️⃣ Uncover and broil until the top turns golden and bubbly.

✨ No roux. No sauce. Just creamy, soul-hugging layers of cheese and pasta.
