Thanksgiving Mac and Cheese

At a recent support meeting one of our Mocha Sisters was adamant that boxes and cans would have no place in her holiday feast.  She also insisted that American cheese slices had no place in proper Mac and Cheese. 

This is a recipe that i'm sure would meet her approval!

Sweetie Pie’s Macaroni & Cheese (serves 12-24)

Ingredients:
1 pound elbow macaroni
1 cup whole milk
2 12-ounce cans evaporated milk
3 eggs
1 cup butter, cut into small pieces
½ pound Colby cheese, grated
½ pound Monterey Jack cheese, grated
½ pound sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1 pound Velveeta cheese, cut into small chunks
½ cup sour cream
Salt, to taste
1 TB white pepper
1 TB sugar
1 cup grated mild Cheddar cheese for the topping

Instructions:
Heat oven to 350° F. Prepare a deep sided 9×13 pan by coating with cooking spray. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt, and cook elbow macaroni according to package directions until tender. Drain and transfer the macaroni noodles to the baking pan.
While the macaroni is cooking, combine the milks and eggs in a large bowl. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Add the butter, cheeses, sour cream, salt, pepper, and sugar and stir to combine. Pour over the macaroni and stir to combine. Top with the grated mild Cheddar cheese.

Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown.
