Are you looking for the best comfort food ever? This Paula Deen Mac And Cheese Casserole Recipe is for you.
Equipment
- Large pot
- Colander
- Large mixing bowl
- 9x13 inch baking dish
- Whisk
- Measuring cups
Ingredients
- 8 Oz Elbow Macaroni
- 4 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 3 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
- 4 Tbsp Butter
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1 Cup Whole Milk
- 1/4 Tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees now. Grease your baking dish with butter or spray. This prevents the pasta from sticking to the sides.
- Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook the macaroni for about six minutes. It should be slightly firm or al dente.
- Drain the pasta well in a colander. Return the warm noodles to the large pot. Add the butter and stir until it melts.
- Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Add the milk and sour cream to the eggs. Mix them until the liquid is very smooth.
- Pour the milk mixture over the buttery noodles. Add most of the shredded cheddar cheese now. Stir everything together with a large spoon.
- Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread it out so the top is flat. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the very top.
- Place the dish in the center of the oven. Bake it for about 30 to 40 minutes. The top should be golden and bubbly.
Notes
- Use block cheese and grate it yourself.
- Do not overcook the macaroni while boiling.
- Let the casserole sit for five minutes.
- Use full-fat sour cream for more richness.
- Add a pinch of paprika for color.
- Make sure the eggs are at room temperature.
- Butter the baking dish very generously.
- Salt the pasta water like the sea.
