Super Creamy Mac and Cheese is insanely rich and delicious. One taste and you will be hooked. Whether eaten as a side or a main dish, this is a recipe you will want to make over and over. Three types of cheese give Super Creamy Mac and Cheese a whole lot of cheese flavor.
We have sharp cheddar (can you have mac and cheese without it?), wonderfully melty Monterey Jack, and last but not least – Velveeta.
I’m not a huge fan of Velveeta but there’s no question it gives mac and cheese a wonderfully creamy texture.
Wonderfully cheesy and totally indulgent.
Life should have more mac and cheese.

Super Creamy Mac and Cheese
Ingredients
- 1 pound elbow macaroni
- 8 tablespoons Challenge butter (1 stick), cut into 1 tablespoon-sized pieces
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 8 ounces Velveeta, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a casserole dish. You can use a 9x13-inch or slightly smaller casserole dish.
- Cook pasta until just tender. It will cook more as it bakes. Drain pasta and return to pot. While pasta is still hot, add butter, and stir until butter is melted.
- Add the half-and-half to the pot, along with half the cheddar and Monterey Jack, the eggs, Velveeta, seasoned salt and pepper. Stir to mix well.
- Pour into prepared dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

I made the creamy mac and cheese several times and it was delicious.
I did add buttered crumbs and extra shredded cheese on top for some crunch.
My grandchildren love this mac and cheese more than any other mac and cheese they have had. Everyone at the dinner table rates this mac and cheese as the best. I agree 100%. I’ve been making it for years. Now it is a family tradition.
OMGOODNESS this is my go to recipe for all special occasions
It had good flavor but was not creamy at all. The Velveeta pieces would not melt when mixing with the noodles.
Use the velveeta sauce packets instead of the block! 100% a million times easier
TUMMY!
This recipe is the best all in one pot I love and is so creamy friends ask me to make it when we have parties
I also added Smoked Gouda, probably almost a cup of 2% milk, some smoked paprika and a little cayenne pepper. Came out delicious.
My grown children and my grandkids love this recipe! I only had penne pasta one time, still good.
It is good. It does need more pepper though and maybe a little more cream and cheese since mine came out kinda of dry
Huge hit for Thanksgiving. Making it again for Christmas! Love it!
