I Never made Mac N 7 Cheese Before

There is this Throwdown going on “I Have Never Cooked That”

I have never cooked Mac N Cheese other than the boxed Kraft stuff and wanted to make a real Mac N Cheese. So I made a 7 Cheese Mac N Cheese!

Sorry for the Crappy Cell Phone Pics - I did not realize the lense was dirty until it was all over?

Here are the Players – Almost All of them!

Here is 5 of the Cheeses all shredded and mixed up. Smoked Mozzarella, Smoked White Cheddar, Smoked Pepper Jack, Muenster, and Swiss. I shredded almost twice as much as needed so I put it in a large bowl and mixed well. More of the tasty blend for later!

Here is the sauce blend. Three eggs, 1 cup whole Milk, 1 cup Half & Half, 1 cup Cream Cheese (6th cheese), salt, Pepper, Garlic, onion powder, Butter, and HDD!

Add 5+ cups of the five cheese blend!

This was Very Good. I learned a lot doing this and have some ideas to make it better next time.

There was a nice crunch to the topping, it had a nice Smokey, Savory Flavor and the Scallops added a level of Goodness about every other bite.
I have had Lobster Mac N Cheese Before but I think I like the Scallops better. The many cheeses and three of them being smoked cheese gave this a flavor I have never had before – I like it!

Thanks for Lookin

Killing me here, man! Mac N Cheese is one of my favorite sides ever. I'm thinking about getting a GMG (the portable one) in about a week or so. You digging yours?

Smoked cheese from 11/13? Does it last that long if vacuum sealed?

Cheese only gets better with age - You pay a premium price for 5 year, 10 year , 20 year cheese.

Just like Burbon!

Keep it sealed up so it gets no oxygen - Thats why they seal cheese in wax!


Thanks All - My Smoked cheese supply took a hit but it was worth it!

That's a thing of awesomeness right there.
That's a massive amount of Cheese
