9 tbsp butter
1/2 cup shredded muenster cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
( feel free to up the cheese quotient. and invite me for dinner! )
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
8 oz cubed processed cheese food
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. of dry mustard
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
optional additions: ( any combination )

breakfast sausage such as jimmy dean regular or hot (browned and drained - 1 lb.)
keilbasa or andouille (cut into chunks and browned in a wee bit of olive oil)
fresh chorizo, casing removed, browned and broken up
1 small onion, diced and sauteed until translucent
jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped (for a milder taste, use poblano
crushed red pepper flake to taste
3/4 cup. of roasted red pepper, chopped
i have even added
1 can of artichoke hearts, drained and loosely chopped
cheesy note : another great cheese combo and 1 of my favorite spins is using shredded asiago, provolone , mozzarella and a sharp cheddar. delish
or use a pepper jack cheese in the mix . or a smoked cheddar. i adore cheese and it all works for me and makes this recipe wonderful , comforting and lusciously decadent.

Directions:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain well and return to cooking pot.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 8 tablespoons butter; stir into the macaroni.
In a large bowl, combine the Muenster cheese, mild and sharp Cheddar cheeses, and Monterey Jack cheese; mix well.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Add the half and half, 1 1/2 cups of cheese mixture, cubed processed cheese food, dry mustard and eggs to macaroni; mix together and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a lightly greased deep 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese mixture and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until hot and bubbling around the edges.
Serve and enjoy!
