John Legend is a musician but did you know that he shared his incredibly yummy mac and cheese recipe on the Martha Stewart Show many years ago? I made this recipe so many times and each time I received praises for this great dish. The recipe calls for 2 pounds of cheese which is quite a lot. I never used up all the cheese but if you love cheese, this mac and cheese is definitely for you! The first time I made this dish, I only had 1 pound of cheese in my fridge and the sauce curdled so I learned not to go skimpy on the cheese the next time I made it.
You will need the following ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 cups elbow macaroni
- 2 (12-ounce) cans evaporated milk
- 1/3 cup skim milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 (8-ounce) packages extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 (8-ounce) package Monterey Jack cheese, grated
- Paprika, for sprinkling
