Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Elbow macaroni cook according to package
  • 2 tsp Salt to salt the water
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Parsley Flakes, dried divided
  • 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese or 1lb block
  • 2 cups Colby Monterey Jack or 1lb block
  • 1 cup Smoked gouda
  • 1/2 stick Butter, unsalted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Whisk milk, eggs, sour cream and seasonings together. Set aside.
  • Shred your cheeses. Set aside.
  • When the macaroni is done, drain and put macaroni back in the pot.
  • Stir in butter until melted. Add in 1 cup of the sharp cheddar and 1 cup of the Colby Monterey Jack cheese. Stir until melted and you see the cheese pull looking stringy.
  • Add in your milk, egg, sour cream mixture and mix well.
  • Add in 1/2 cup gouda cheese and mix well.
  • Grease pan. Pour half mixture in pan. Top with half of each cheese. Pour remaining mixture on top. Top with 1/2 of remaining sharp cheddar cheese and remaining of other cheeses. Add a little sprinkle of parsley flakes(optional). Bake for about 20 minutes. Just to let it set a little.
  • Take out the oven and sprinkle remaining sharp cheddar cheese on top. If you have more or want more cheese, add it now. I like to add a little sprinkle of paprika for more pop of color here but that's optional. Bake for another 15-20 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
