Mac and Cheese Recipe - Dolly Parton GUM

Ingrediente

2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

2 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 (8-ounce) block of Velveeta, cubed

2 cups elbow macaroni

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup whole milk, room temperature

½ cup sour cream

2 tablespoons butter melted, plus more for greasing

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon mustard powder

1 teaspoon salt

Instrucțiuni

Per Parton's recipe, I saved ¼ cup of shredded cheddar and ¼ cup of shredded Monterey Jack for the top of the mac and cheese.

Then, I preheated the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greased a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan with butter.

I also placed a large saucepan filled with water over medium heat, adding a teaspoon of salt. Parton says to cook the macaroni for two to three minutes less than indicated on the package.

"Don't overcook and don't rinse," she adds. "Drain the macaroni well in a colander, return it to the pot, and add the olive oil. Gently stir to coat so the macaroni doesn't stick together."

In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, sour cream, butter and dried mustard powder.

Add cubed Velveeta, shredded cheddar and shredded Monterey Jack.

Mix in the cooked macaroni until evenly combined. Spoon the mac and cheese into a greased baking pan. Sprinkle more cheese on top, and bake at 350° until the mac and cheese is golden brown on the top, which should take 20–25 minutes. Let it rest for about 15 minutes before serving so the cheese sauce has a little time to set up.
