I thought about making David's, but honest it had ingredients in there I've never even heard of. I just want something that tastes really, really, good with ooey gooey cheese that isn't going to require much effort.

Search Dadgum That's Good & click on recipes Masterbuilt, click on smoker, click on sides, click on 4 cheese Mac n' cheese. It's really yummy gooey. You can make it in the oven you don't have to use a smoker. I don't have any other recipes with me. I'm in the car on my iPad.

I just make mine on top of the stove - It's not one of those things that needs a recipe.

If one wants to put it in the oven with a topping, I'd just make it on the stove, pour it into a casserole, and add a mixture of hard cheese (like parm, romano, or asiago) with bread crumbs on top.

I make my Mom's.

1 pound box of pasta (I use whole grain macaroni)

Velveeta, cubed (start with 4 ounces, add more if needed)

Extra Sharp Cheese, cubed (bagged and shredded if you wish)

2 eggs

2 tablespoons of melted butter

2 cups heavy cream

salt

cayenne pepper

Preheat the oven to 350

Cook and drain the pasta

Mix the eggs, heavy cream, butter, salt and pepper in a bowl and set aside

Layer 1/2 of the pasta in an 8x8 Pyrex.

Top with 1/2 of both cheeses

Repeat with pasta and cheeses

Pour cream sauce in

Cover with foil

Bake for 45 minutes

Thank you. I have never made homemade mac and cheese. I'm going to give it a whirl.

Is an 8X8 pan large enough? And will it feed 7 adults and 2 children? Thanks.

1 lb of pasta + 4 cups of dry pasta.

1 cup of dry pasta = 2 cups cooked pasta

8""x8""x2 pan holds 6 cups

You will need a larger dish for 1 lb plus the cheese sauce according to my info on pasta.

Butter a baking dish (you choose the size) and fill it about 3/4 full with cooked macaroni (or other pasta; I like shells best). Tuck generous pats of butter and numerous chunks of your favorite cheeses (cheddar, jack, swiss, Velveeta.....whatever you like) all among the pasta. In a separate bowl, mix together enough whole milk (or half and half) and beaten eggs to fill the baking dish, one egg per 1/2 cup of milk. Season the egg/milk mixture with salt, pepper, a few dashes of tabasco, and (if you like) a dash of garlic powder. Pour the egg/milk mixture over the pasta till the baking dish is almost full and the pasta just covered. If you want to go crazy-whole-hog, you can spread grated cheese on top. Spritz the top with cooking spray and put the casserole into a 325 degree oven. Bake till set and starting to brown on top. Remove from oven, let sit for a few minutes, and serve.

This is the kind of mac and cheese that holds its shape when cut.........and it is SO good! It's what my Mama always made.

No! What a typo, good call!

That should be an 11x8 Pyrex.

8x8, you will have extra ingredients left. 13x11, the sauce won't reach the top layer of pasta.

Velveeta is "mandatory," but use any cheese you like for the extra sharp.

Thanks, HonnyB.
