Southern Mac and Cheese Recipe | Kardea Brown | Food N… image

Kardea Brown’s grandma has been making this macaroni and cheese for more than 50 years — and before that, her great-grandmother made it. It’s a staple at family gatherings, especially during the holidays. Kardea put her own twist on the recipe by adding cream cheese and sour cream. “It creates a creamier texture and slightly tangy flavor,” she says.

Total Time 1 hours 0 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
Kosher salt
1 pound elbow macaroni
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more if needed
4 ounces cream cheese
1 pound sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch or other 3-quart baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain, then rinse with cold water. 
  • Using the same pot the macaroni was cooked in, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. While whisking constantly, slowly add the milk and then the heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, then add the cream cheese and all but 1/2 cup shredded cheddar and stir until melted. Stir in the granulated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Remove the cheese sauce from the heat and stir in the macaroni. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk together the eggs and sour cream in a small bowl and then fold into the mac and cheese. Spread in the baking dish, then fold in the cubed cheddar and top with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar. Bake until the mac and cheese just begins to brown on top, 20 to 30 minutes. Loosely cover with foil and bake 10 to 15 more minutes.

  • Preheat oven to 350° and butter a large, deep baking dish. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook macaroni according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.  In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta and butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 2 cups cheddar cheese. Add half of the macaroni mixture to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle Colby-cheddar cheese blend over pasta mixture, then top with another layer of pasta (similar to making a lasagna).  In a medium bowl, beat together eggs and milk then pour evenly over pasta.  Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake! It may be a bit jiggly when you take it out of the oven.  Turn on oven broiler. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese. (I add a little more Colby jack as well) and broil until golden! It will firm up as it cool.
