Radical Faith 04-14-2005, 04:46 AM Only because I have much love for ya'll, will I go into the my vault of recipe and share them.
Ingredients:
3 cups of large elbow macaroni noodles
3 cups of shredded mild Cheddar cheese
2 cups of shredded Moneterrey Jack cheese
1 8 oz. block of Colby Cheese
1 8 oz. block of Monterrey Jack cheese
1 16 oz. container of Sour Cream
1 jumbo egg beaten
2 tsps of ground white pepper
1 dash of black pepper
Instructions:
Boil the noodles for 15-20 mins, then drain. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F for 10mins. Then put noodles in a 4 quart baking dish or pan and add the sour cheese, 2 cups of the mild Cheddar cheese, the shredded Moneterrey Jack, the white pepper and the jumbo egg. Mix throughly then add the block cheeses after they been diced into 1 inch cubes. Mix again and place into the oven for 10 mins. Remove from the oven then stir. Spread the remaining cup of Cheddar cheese on the top and sprinkle the dash of black pepper on top as well. Place the dish back in the oven at 425-450 degrees F for 20-25 mins or until top layer of cheese is melt and starting to brown. Remove from the oven, cool for 5 mins and serve. This recipe serves 8 to 10 people but if you're like me and love mac and cheese it will serve 4 to 6 people. All the ingredients can be substituded with fat free products for a low calorie dish. If prepared right once you take a taste it'll make you want to smack yo mama. (just kidding of course)
Bon Appetite....

Radical, whew, for the cheese lover in us all, bruh...(smile!) That's some SOUL macaroni, now! Sounds Scrumptious...
BTW, I have never understood why Soul Food Restaurants don't prepare M&C like it's done at home... Ladies in my family always used at least 2 eggs and some carnation beaten to a cream(seasoned with salt and pepper, of course) to pour into them cracks with the elbows, butter and Cheese... In the Soul Joints I've been in here in NYC, I am puzzled by this no frills macaroni and cheese only mentality... Cheap negroes go outta bidness...
Peace!

In my years culinary training (aka experimenting with food) I've found using sharp Cheddar cheese makes the mac-n-cheez too oily, add too many eggs and you'll have scrambled eggs and mac-n-cheez and cream or milk sweetens the dish taking away twang of the cheese. I use the ingredients I do to create an effect when preparing this dish. If you are a cheese lover the purpose of the sour cream is to evenly melt and blend the cheeses. This gives the dish a smoother and creamier texture. I only use one egg to give the dish the firmness without making scrambled egg yolks and whites. For the twang without the oil I use Colby cheese instead of sharp Cheddar cheese and I use the Monterrey Jack for it's mildness without dimmishing it's cheesiness. So there is a science to making a good mac-n-cheez. If you don't like sour cream then use melted cream cheese and a little extra Colby cheese and a little less Monterrey Jack cheese. Like I always says when I cook "If you dont like it, throw it in the trash". None of my dish have ever hit the trash can yet.....
Peace

river 08-19-2005, 05:09 PM I'm interested in making this brotha Rad but I don't know if that veggie cheese will work. Will that stuff actually melt? And what can I use in lieu of an egg?

Yes it will if you use Soy Milk to help it melt better. The only reason eggs are used is to give the dish firmness and help it stay together. I like my Mac-n-Cheez with a creamy texture so I never used a lot of eggs anyway.. I suggest a product called egg-like, which is potato starch or corn starch. You can also use vegan sour cream and vegan cream cheese to give the dish a smooth and creamy texture as well. It probably ain't mama's recipe but you will eliminate all of the cholesterol, 80-90% of the fat from the dish and add more muscle building protein to the dish. Just a way to replace the foods that we love with healthier versions of themselves.
Bon Appetite my sista......
