Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350º Grease a 9x13 nonstick metal pan with 1 tablespoon butter. Prepare macaroni according to pkg. but make sure it is al dente. You will be baking it and do not want to overcook the noodles. Drain well. and pour into the baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, half-and-half, and sour cream; break the cream cheese into little bits as you add it to the bowl. Add the egg, flour, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and onion powders, dry mustard, cayenne pepper and nutmeg; combine very well with a wire whisk to break up that cream cheese. It will look lumpy, but that is okay. Starting at the corners of the pasta dish, place and push down the Velveeta and Vermont cheddar cubes.Work your way around and toward the middle (they won't push down completely, but just smoosh them down a bit) Then sprinkle the Gruyere cheese evenly over the top--gently and evenly covering all areas. Gently shake the pan afterward to make sure the liquid is even. Push down and make indentations so the gruyere is getting down into the mixture. Sprinkle the jack and cheddar combo over the mixture and sprinkle with paprika over the top. Bake on middle rack until brown and bubbly approximately 30 minutes. It will appear creamy in the center and more crusty on the top and edges. Garnish with the chopped chives just before serving. |
