  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 1⁄2 tsp. salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 1⁄2 lbs. Velveeta cheese, diced
  • 1⁄2 lb. Colby cheese, diced
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1⁄2 lb. sharp Cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

  • Cook macaroni according to package directions. Rinse, drain, and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bring milk to a boil and add butter, salt, and pepper. Add Velveeta and Colby cheeses to the milk. Stir until creamy and the sauce thickens.
  • Add the egg to the cooled macaroni, then add the cheese sauce; combine well.
