If you want the creamier version check out step by step guide to the Creamiest Homemade Macaroni and Cheese!

Macaroni and cheese is a pretty big deal in my house.

Everyone loves it even the pickiest of eater will usually delight in a plate of Mac and Cheese.

I make dinner mac and cheese with meat and veggies, side mac and cheese, grown up mac and cheese, kids mac and cheese, 4 cheese mac and cheese vegetable puree mac and cheese, seafood mac and cheese healthy mac and cheese then I throw in a couple variations of my family recipes of traditional mac and cheese. So see what I mean it’s a pretty big deal!

When it comes to traditional macaroni and cheese this recipe is pretty much my favorite, and it is very simple, seriously it’s as close to fool proof as your gonna get outside of a box. When it comes to soul food and southern comforts mac and cheese meets all the criteria.

It’s a table staple on holidays and any other special occasions for that matter. So here you go my favorite Macaroni and Cheese. The best traditional and soulful Mac and Cheese I’ve ever tasted.

 

16 oz Elbow Macaroni

1 Tablespoon Salt

2 Cups Heavy Whipping  Cream

2 Cups Whole Milk

8 oz Cream Cheese

4 Talespoons Butter

16oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese (I use 2 Cracker Barrel blocks and shred it with food processor)

4 Egg Yolks

salt and pepper to taste

Pre-heat oven to 400ᴼ

Bring water to rolling boil add a little salt. Cook to al dente.

Drain and run under cold water. In a large pot heat whipping cream, milk, cream cheese, butter whisk it together well, and make sure not to over heat just mix and melt until smooth, then turn off the heat salt and pepper to taste.

Mix in your cooled pasta.

Add egg yolks and mix in mac and cheese one at a time. Mix everything together well salt and pepper to taste at this point.

Pour mixture into your baking dish.

Bake for About 20 minutes or until top starts to brown.

Let cool and serve.
