Description

Indulge in this Four Cheese Baked Macaroni and Cheese, made extra creamy with evaporated milk for a rich, gooey, and irresistible comfort dish.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 16–ounce box elbow macaroni
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon adobo all-purpose seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 16 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated from a block
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated from a block
  • 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated from a block
  • 8 ounces muenster cheese, grated from a block

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F degrees.
  2. Into a large bowl, shred all your cheeses and mix them until they’re evenly combined. It’s better to shred your own cheese because pre-shredded cheese has preservatives that don’t allow the cheese to melt the same/as well as blocks of cheese
  3. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a good amount of salt. Add your elbow noodles and boil for 8-10 minutes or until al dente.
  4. Drain the elbow noodles and add them back into the pot.
  5. Pour the evaporated milk, adobo seasoning, black pepper, garlic powder, sugar, mustard, smoked paprika, and butter to the noodles.
  6. Add 3/4ths of the shredded cheese, a little at a time, and mix until gooey and melted. Add the large egg and mix until evenly dispersed.
  7. Add the large egg to the pasta mixture and mix until evenly dispersed.
  8. Pour this mixture into a 13x9in baking dish, sprinkle a little more smoked paprika on top, and top it off with your remaining cheese.
  9. Place your macaroni and cheese into the oven, and let it bake until the cheese on top is nice, crisp, and golden; about 30 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Serve.

Equipment

Notes

A food processor (optional) with a grating attachment is a great tool for grating cheese quickly. You can always grate by hand.
