    Kim Kardashian's Mac & Cheese

    Kim Kardashian's Mac and Cheese. Yes you read that right. Ugh… I am so not a fan of her or her family, but being a foodie, I had no choice but to try her recipe. I had no idea how it would turn out but it's kind of hard to screw up a Mac & Cheese.

    To my surprise, I was amazed at how good this Macaroni and Cheese was and I mean like really good. It's unclear if she is watching her figure but I modified the recipe a bit to include more cheese. I mean what is a good Mac and Cheese without a lot of cheese right?

    In my humble opinion, what makes this macaroni and cheese recipe delicious, is all the various types of cheeses that are used. They really work well together and helps bring the whole dish together.

    🧀 Gruyère Substitutes

    Gruyère Cheese can be pretty pricey depending on where you live. If you don't want to spend the money for just this pasta bake recipe you can substitute for a different kind of cheese. Just make sure it's a good melting cheese. And also remember it will change the overall flavor of this dish.

    I love a good Mac & Cheese baked in a casserole. There's just something about the texture that I prefer over the stovetop variety.

    And if you are one of the few out there that have never heard of Kim Kardashian or her family, don't worry, you're not missing much. If you really feel like learning more about Kim and her family I would suggest looking them up here Kim Kardashian on Wiki.

    💭 What is Al Dente

    When making Mac and Cheese, it's important to cook the pasta al dente to ensure to best texture possible. If you are not familiar with the term "al dente", it means cooking the pasta so it's still chewy and form and that it will hold its shape when the sauce is added to it.

    📋 What Ingredients do I need

    You will need the following ingredients to make Kim Kardashian's Mac & Cheese recipe (see recipe card for quantities): Unsalted Butter, Macaroni, All Purpose Flour, Ground Dry Mustard, Milk, Yellow Onion, Paprika, Bay Leaf, Velveeta Cheese, Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Goat Cheese, Gruyere Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese, Parmesan Cheese, Eggs, Panko Bread Crumbs, Kosher Salt and Ground Black Pepper.

    🥣 How to Make Kim Kardashian's Mac and Cheese

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the macaroni and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and ensure it is no longer wet.
    In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and mustard powder. Reduce the heat to low and whisk frequently for 2 minutes. Add in the hot milk and whisk until combined.
    Whisk in the onion, paprika, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and let simmer until the sauce is reduced. This should take about 10 minutes.
    Once it has reduced, remove the mixture from the heat. Remove the bay leaf. Mix in ¾ of each cheese into the sauce. Then stir to ensure that the cheese has melted. Season this cheese mixture with salt and pepper as desired.
    Stir in the beaten eggs slowly (to ensure they do not scramble in the hot sauce) and mix well.
    Mix in the macaroni and stir until the pasta is fully coated with the cheese mixture.
    Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and add the breadcrumbs. Stir to combine.
    Add the macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish, and top it with the remaining cheese and the breadcrumb mixture.
    Bake the macaroni and cheese at 350°F for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
    Let cool slightly before serving.
