Made a batch of Mac and cheese today



Used cavatappti (1#), 3 cups shredded cheddar blend, asiago, parm, 2 oz of Monterary Jack, 4 slices Swiss American, and two slices of American with a couple of egg whites and milk and half and half.









Mixed it up and topped with another cup of shredded cheddar



On it goes and the tri tips come off at 138 IT



Set het to 250 for an hour...

Hey Dert...I'd agree with the others......it 'looks good', however you're the one eating it & looks can be deceiving. Cavatappi is one of my fav pastas. Growing up it was always elbow mac and velveeta cheese...that was M&C. Good for one time only...lol....after that it set up like concrete. There are a coupla of really good ones posted on here. I think the last time I made some I blended 2 recipes together....Squibs and somebody elses I can't remember. Good luck with the next batch....Willie
