I think i just had the richest cheese dish known to human-kind. YUM. Super, SUPER rich though, and this recipe makes a HUGE amount. I think this would be divine as a side dish for something...and if you make it for anything less than a small army, I'd halve the recipe. You have to completely forget about ANY sort of nutritional guidelines, and be prepared to run 25 miles uphill OR swim the English Channel OR do 25 hours of yoga (you get the picture) to work off the calories from eating this. However, it would be divine to take to a potluck, or for a large holiday gathering....for people you really like. :) Having said that, here goes:
Carnie Wilson's Fall to Your Knees Mac and Cheese
3 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
12 oz. velveeta, cut into 1 inch squares
10 oz. white vermont cheddar, cut into 1 inch squares
15 oz. shredded Gruyere cheese
1-2 cups jack and cheddar cheese (combined, shredded
4 oz. cream cheese at room temp
2/3 cup sour cream
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1 1/3 cup half and half
1 egg
3 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp nutmeg (freshly grated if you have it)
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
pinch of paprika
chopped fresh chives for garnish
preheat oven to 350. Greace a 13 by 19 inch pan with butter. Prepare macaroni according to package directions, drain, and pour into baking pan. In mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, half and half, and sour cream. Add edd, flour, Worchestershire sauce, garlic and onion powders, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Combine verywell with wire whisk to break up cream cheese.
Starting at corners of pasta dish, place and push down the velvee and white cheddar cubes. Sprinkle Grueyere over top. Pour seasoned dairy mixture over pasta. Spread jack and cheddar cheese on top, and sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 30 minutes. Serves 10. |

I am probably going to try the recipe to make replacement velveeta that uses gelatin for chip dips.

oh how smart you farmgirls are. That is the EXACT thing my mom and I said when reading the recipe - velveeta? ewww! We did it as-is for "research" sake - i do think you could leave it out. I mean, there is so much cheese and dairy in here - not like leaving one ingredient out would make it bland. ha. (I will say - tyou can't TASTE the velveeta - I do think it is there just to add creaminess). |

Here is a way to make substitute Velveeta. It sounds better to me than Velveeta

I'm with Julie on the Velveeta - ick! Does anyone know if there is an organic substitute for Velveeta? Probably not. I wonder how it would come out without the Velveeta? Otherwise, it DOES sound really yummy.

Oh this sounds so good except for the velveeta! I just can't bring myself to eat it! Do you think I could substitute with more cheddar?
