Lady and Sons Mac and Cheese - What's cooking with Paula Deen Podcast

Ever wonder how Paula makes her famous Lady and Sons Mac and Cheese? In today's podcast, Paula walks you through how she approaches here Mac and Cheese. 1. Start with 2 cups of raw noodles and put in a pot of salted boiling water. Make sure its salted, so the pasta has salt on it while cooking. 2. Cook the pasta until it's soft. The soft pasta will keep the pasta from absorbing the water in the mac and cheese. When you drain the pasta, make sure remove as much water as possible by stirring them in the colander. This keeps the sauce from being watery. 3. Mix in the warm past with 2 cups of sharp cheddar, a block of medium cheddar and then stir it in with butter. Then add 1/2 a block of cream cheese in bits. Once the cream cheese in, add two heaping teaspoons of sour cream. 4. Add 1 can of evaporated milk into the cheese sauce.Add regular milk until the sauce becomes the consistency of pancake batter. 5. Once the mixture has cooled, add two beaten eggs. This will make the mac and cheese back up like a souffle. 6. Pour into a prepared pan that has been coated in a non stick cooking spray and bake uncovered in a 350 degree oven for about 45 min. About half way through, give the mac n cheese a stir. 7. After 45 minutes, cover the top with grated cheddar cheese and put back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
