Celebrate National Mac & Cheese Day with The Ultimate Comfort Food Recipe!

Mac & Cheese

Hi there! It’s Jermaine Antonio here, your trusted Greater Palm Springs Realtor, trained chef, and makeup artist. Today, I’m excited to share one of my all-time favorite comfort foods in honor of National Mac & Cheese Day. This recipe is based on the original by The Danni Rose on YouTube, and it’s absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:

32 oz chicken stock
3 1/2 cups elbow pasta
8 cups of cheese of choice
2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
3 eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
Seasonings such as paprika, salt, and pepper
1 stick of butter

Directions:

Boil your noodles in your chicken stock then drain. (Reserve a cup of the boiling liquid.)

Add pasta back into your pot, then add the butter and sour cream. Season to taste.

Fold in your cheeses. (Reserve 2 cups of cheese for topping)

Layer your mac & cheese mixture and “custard”, (whisked heavy cream and eggs), in a baking dish.

Sprinkle the final layer of shredded cheese on top, creating a golden crust that adds an irresistible crunch to every bite.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 40-45 minutes.

Let cool/set for 20-25 minutes.

SERVE & ENJOY!
