Ingredients List
-
1 cup uncooked rotini pasta (it holds cheese better - don’t lie, you wish you had thought of it now)
-
2 tablespoons salted butter (we are all gonna die, may as well enjoy it)
-
1 1/2 cups hand grated mix of Parmesan, Asiago and Gouda cheese (yes I really mean hand grated from three premium blocks of cheese - dont buy that crap pre-grated nonsense either)
-
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (from the store or whatever, we used a three cheddar variant mix with a larger grate)
-
ZERO EGGS - Households that put eggs in Mac and Cheese are what true evil yearns to spawn up from
-
1/2 cup sour cream (Do a Dollop of Daisy, do do a dollop)
-
1/2 (5 ¾ ounce) can of condensed cheddar cheese soup
-
1/2 teaspoon salt - Kosher or Not, the Rabbi’s blessing or lack thereof ain’t relevant
-
1 cup almond milk (original, non-sweetened, leave the cows milk for the calves)
-
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
How to Make
-
Boil the rotini in water for five minutes. Drain.
-
In a medium saucepan, mix butter and cheese ON LOW (doing this too fast ruins the recipe so JUST DONT). Stir until the cheese melts (dont wait too long afterwards to remove)
-
In a slow cooker, combine cheese mixture, sour cream, soup, salt, almond milk, mustard and pepper. Add the drained rotini and stir again.
-
Cook on low for 90 minutes, stirring every 25 minutes.
Notes
Yes this actually won a family competition a few years back for best Mac and Cheese. I have a trophy for it… somewhere. In any event, I was not expected to win as my reputation as a cook is basically non-existent ;)
