Instructions

Step 1

Boil 1 pound elbow macaroni, drain in collander, but don't rinse. Shred cheese, set aside. I bought my parmesan and colby jack cheese already shredded, just manually shredded the extra sharp cheddar. In a pot, melt the butter and cream cheese on very low heat. Next, add the heavy whipping cream, cheddar, and parmesan cheese-(reserve the colby jack). Add water to thin the sauce as it melts down and bubbles to get desired consistency. Add the seasonings. Pour about 3/4 of the cheese sauce to cooked macaroni in a large baking dish. I store the remainder of cheese sauce for topping veggies, nachos, or potatoes. Mix the cheese into the macaroni until well incorporated. Top with shredded colby-jack cheese and bread crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
