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.

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’ve been making this for the past few months, as my go-to mac and cheese recipe. So perfect and delicious. Feedback from extended family was “that’s gourmet restaurant quality”.
    Thanks so much for sharing!

    Looks very yummy! Found a minor typo – there needs to be a space between the words ounces and Velveeta.

    I made this last week everyone loved it!! I was wondering if you can replace half and half with heavy cream?

    1. Christin Mahrlig says:

      Yes, you can use heavy cream instead. It will just be creamier and richer.

  8. Latoria says:

  9. Kelly says:

    This looks amazing! Cannot wait to try it. Could you make it without using the eggs?

    1. Christin Mahrlig says:

      Hi Kelly- I haven’t made it without eggs so I really am not sure how differently it would turn out without them.

      1. Whitney says:

        I left the eggs out by accident (oops) and it turned out great!

        1. Christin Mahrlig says:

          Hi Whitney! Thanks for letting us know it will still turn out good without the eggs! ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. Morgan says:

    I’ve finally found the perfect baked mad and cheese recipe! I’ve been trying to perfect baked mac and cheese for a while but it would always come out too dry, or the cheese would seperate from the cream or it just didn’t taste right! This is delicious creamy and comforting! Thanks this is my new favorite!

    1. Christin Mahrlig says:

      Thanks for leaving your feedback Morgan and I’m so glad you enjoyed it! ๐Ÿ™‚
