Paula Deen's Mac and Cheese

KathyP53's Note:

There is another recipe on Recipezaar for Mac and Cheese from Paula Deen that is a bit different than this. This version has more cheese and I prefer it.

• 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (10 oz.)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain, transfer to a bowl.

8/04/08 Definitely a hit with my boyfriend and I. We like more of a bite to our dishes so we added Parmesan cheese and Asiago cheese to the mix. UPDATE: 2/24/09 Made it again and had less sour cream, but added green onions. Wonderful!

Great Mac&Cheese! This is real man food.....not your usual "out of the box" kiddy stuff!

Not your typical mac and cheese. It is more casserole like than creamy mac & cheese.
