Naleighna Kai ’ s famous ( or infamous depending on how you see it ) Macaroni & Cheese
I pound of elbow macaroni or medium shells Cut the following cheeses into cubes : 8 oz of mild cheddar 8 oz of Colby 8 oz of Monterey Jack ( or 16 ounces of Colby Jack ) 1 small package of Velveeta Cheese . 4 eggs Heavy whipping cream Garlic powder , Onion powder ½ teaspoon of nutmeg ½ teaspoon of black pepper ( salt if preferred , but not too much — the Velveeta is salty )
When the macaroni has boiled and is drained , while it ’ s still hot , add ½ stick of real butter , then season it with the garlic powder and onion powder .
Scramble the eggs and add the heavy whipping cream along with garlic powder , onion powder and black pepper into the mixture
Put the macaroni in a pan , then drop in the cheese cubes making sure they are evenly distributed . Pour in the egg mixture and stir the entire contents so that it , too , is evenly distributed .
Bake for 20 minutes so the aged cheeses melt ; then stir ( especially around the edges ), and layer the Velveeta on top .
Bake for another 20 minutes , you can leave as is or stir gently and then let it cool
Sprinkle a little more nutmeg on for color .
Alternates : half and half ( but heavy whipping cream is preferred ) Add pepper jack cheese to give it a zing . Gouda cheese to give it a smoky flavor Sour cream or Cream Cheese to give it a tart flavor Bread crumbs sautéed in butter and a touch of salt
