6 Cheese 3 Meat Mac & Cheese w/Corn Bread Topping


this recipe is literally to have a heart attack and die for... it is really amazing tasting and definitely not so good for the arteries. Needless to say, I got the recipe from a true Southern lady from my mom's ward so you know it is AMAZING. I made this for Trevor for his birthday (way back in december) and haven't done a very good job of keeping up with posting on this blog. I vow to try harder! 

here goes:

16 oz pkg. elbow macaroni
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 C grated extra sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 C grated each: Muenster, Provolone, Colby Jack
1/4 C freshly grated Parmesan cheese
8 oz. Velveeta, cut up
2 beaten eggs
2 C half and half
1/2 C Chicken Broth
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp. Black Pepper
2-3 drops of Tobasco Sauce

Cooked & Chopped Meat: 
(ham, chicken breast, 1lb Jimmy Dean Sausage- i used the sage kind) 
Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
2 T. Parmesan Cheese
4 tsp melted butter

Bake Muffin Mix according to directions in an 8x8 pan. Cool and Set Aside
Cook Macaroni according to directions on package, adding the olive oil and salt to the water. 
Drain, and place back in big pot. 
Add all cheese and mix together. 
Mix eggs, half and half, broth, salt, pepper, and Tabasco. 
Add to Macaroni Mixture.
Add meats and stir to mix. 
Put into a 9x13 pan sprayed with Pam. 
Crumble about half of the cooked muffin mix and mix with the remaining parmesan and butter. 
Sprinkle on top of macaroni mixture and bake at 350 (325 if using dark pan) for about 30 minutes. 
Cover with foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until it bubbles. 


*No joke, this was a fantastic party in our mouths... if i told you how much of it we ate i would have to kill you because it is embarrassing. 
-it has been awhile, but i swear i used my pyrex dish that is the next size up from a 9x13 that way it wouldn't overflow, it was looking sketchy. 

Enjoy!!! (also enjoy not fitting into your pants for a week after, but well worth it)
