Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs macaroni noodles
16 oz sharp cheddar cheese
16 oz colby jack cheese
8 oz gouda cheese
8 oz mozzarella cheese
6 cups heavy cream
4 tbsp salted butter
4 oz cream cheese (optional)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp chicken bouillon
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp adobo
Instructions
Grate your cheeses using a large shredder and set aside.
Cook the macaroni noodles, enhancing the water with chicken bouillon for added flavor, until al dente.
In a sauce pot, melt salted butter over low heat and gradually pour in heavy cream, whisking until smooth.
Incorporate about 50% of your shredded cheeses into the cream mixture until well blended, then add the cream cheese.
Combine the cooked noodles with the creamy sauce, including any small cheese chunks.
Transfer the mixture into a 13×9 baking dish, layering half of the noodles with cheese sauce and a mix of shredded cheeses, then add the remaining noodles and top with more cheese.
Bake at 350°F until cheese is melted and bubbly, then broil for 2 minutes for a golden-brown top.
