Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 16 ounces elbow macaroni pasta
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 1/4 pounds American cheese sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon Romano cheese grated
  • 4 ounces Colby Jack cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the macaroni noodles. Cook according to package al dente directions.
  • Preheat the oven to its broil setting.
  • In a medium saucepan, add the heavy cream and evaporated milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced American cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Romano cheese to the saucepan. Whisk until all of the cheese has melted.
  • Pour the cooked pasta into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Pour the cheese sauce over the macaroni.
  • Sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese on top.
  • Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook for just long enough that the cheese begins to brown.

Recipe Tips

My original recipe did not contain the evaporated milk. I now suggest adding evaporated milk to make it creamier, and it will reheat better with it. If desired, you may omit evaporated milk.
