Do you ever have one of those days where all you want is to indulge in some gooey, delicious comfort food? Well, let me tell you, I have the perfect recipe for you: Delilah’s 7 Cheese Mac and Cheese. Trust me, this dish will make all of your cheesy dreams come true.
First things first, let’s talk about the cheese situation. This recipe utilizes not one, not two, but SEVEN different cheeses. Yes, you read that correctly. Can you even name seven different kinds of cheese off the top of your head? Because I definitely can’t. But when they’re all melted together in this mac and cheese, it creates a symphony of flavors that will make your taste buds sing.
Now, onto the recipe itself. Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F. Next, cook 1 pound of elbow macaroni according to package instructions and set it aside. In a separate pot, melt 1 stick of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, add in 1/4 cup of flour and whisk until it forms a smooth paste. Gradually add in 4 cups of whole milk, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Next, it’s time for the cheese. Add in 1 cup each of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, shredded gouda cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, shredded fontina cheese, shredded muenster cheese, shredded Colby jack cheese, and crumbled blue cheese. Yes, it’s a lot of cheese. But trust me, it’s worth it. Keep stirring until all of the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Now, let’s put it all together. Pour the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce and stir until it’s fully coated. Transfer everything to a 9×13 inch baking dish and sprinkle some extra shredded cheese on top. Pop it in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
And there you have it, folks. Delilah’s 7 Cheese Mac and Cheese. I mean, come on. Just looking at the picture of this dish is making my mouth water. And trust me, the taste is even better. It’s the perfect dish to curl up with on a chilly evening, or to bring to a potluck and impress all of your friends with your cheese knowledge. So what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
