I got this recipe from a friend a few years back. It's a favorite around our house. This recipe is for a 13x9 pan but you can always half the recipe as this makes a lot!

How To Make baked 4 cheese mac & cheese

Step 1

cook noodles until done and drain

Step 2

mix noodles, butter, half and half, whipping cream, salt, black pepper, and 3/4 of each cheese in a bowl. (may not need the whole pint of half and half and whipping cream - don't want it to be runny)
Step 3

pour into a greased 13x9 pan and top with remaining cheese, cayenne and paprika
Step 4

bake in a 350 oven for 20 minutes. Check with a fork in the center and if liquid is still in the center, put back in the oven for another 10 mins checking again after 5.
