4 tablespoons butter cut into pieces

2 cups grated cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

3 beaten eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1-Getting this Paula Deen Mac And Cheese right involves a few straightforward steps that lead to a delicious outcome. Start by preheating your oven to 350Β°F, which sets the stage for even baking. This method ensures the dish turns out creamy inside with a slight crisp on top.

2-First, cook and drain 4 cups of elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Place the hot macaroni in a large bowl and mix in 2 cups of grated cheddar cheese right away to start melting it. In another bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of butter cut into pieces, 1/2 cup sour cream, 3 beaten eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup milk until well blended.

3-Next, pour the mixture over the macaroni and cheese, stirring everything together for an even coat. Transfer it all to a casserole dish and bake for 30 to 45 minutes until it’s bubbly and golden. For a crispy top, sprinkle on extra cheese before baking ends.

4-Once baked, let it cool slightly before serving, as it cuts like a casserole for easy portions. This step-by-step guide helps beginners feel confident, much like trying new baking techniques on our blog.
