Ingredients

• 16 ounces elbow macaroni - but really use any shape want
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• Kosher salt & fresh ground pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 pound bacon, diced and cooked until ‘just’ beginning to get crispy…just
• 8 ounces Velveeta, rough chopped
• 2 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus
• 1 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1/4 cup butter
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Beat eggs in a medium bowl, whisk in milk and sour cream, add salt, pepper & garlic powder - mix well and set aside
• Cook the mac in a large pot of salted boiling water about a minute less than the instructions, drain well and put back into the pot
• Add the bacon to the mac, along with all the cheeses, but hold back 1/4 each of the cheddar and Monterey jack and add the butter - mix all really well
• Pour in the egg mixture, stir super well to combine then pour into a lightly greased 9 x 13 baking dish, or about a 10 or 11 inch round cast iron pan
• Top with remaining cheese, and bake 30 to 40 or until bubbly, beginning to brown and looking magnificent
• Let cool a bit - eat
