Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ultimate Creamy Macaroni and Cheese.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a light spray of cooking spray to a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
Next, grab a large pot and fill it with lightly salted water, bringing it to a rolling boil.
Step 3
Once it’s bubbling, toss in the elbow macaroni and let it cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 4
After draining the macaroni, gently transfer it into your prepared baking dish, creating a warm base for your casserole.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, seasoned salt, and black pepper, beating them together until the mixture is smooth and inviting.
Step 6
Now, fold in the shredded Cheddar cheese along with the Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, ensuring everything is well mixed and ready to bring some cheesy goodness to your dish.
Step 7
Pour this creamy mixture over the macaroni, and give it a good stir to coat every piece evenly.
Step 8
To elevate your casserole, sprinkle torn pieces of processed cheese on top, allowing them to melt beautifully as it bakes.
Step 9
Drizzle some melted butter over the entire surface, paying special attention to the edges for that extra golden touch.
Step 10
Now, it’s time to pop your creation into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes.
Step 11
Keep an eye on it as it transforms into a bubbling, cheesy masterpiece with a golden crust that’s simply irresistible.
Step 12
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the deliciousness that awaits!.
