Over-the-Rainbow Macaroni and Cheese


Recipe created by Patti LaBelle





Patti LaBelle says that the sure sign of a good cook is if their macaroni and cheese will make you cry! According to Oprah, Patti's version just might bring tears to your eyes.














1 tablespoon vegetable oil


1 pound elbow macaroni


8 tablespoons (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon butter


1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Muenster cheese


1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mild Cheddar cheese


1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese


1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack


2 cups half-and-half


1 cup (8 ounces) Velveeta, cut into small cubes


2 large eggs, lightly beaten


1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt


1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a deep 2 1/2-quart casserole.





Bring the large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the oil, then the elbow macaroni, and cook until the macaroni is just tender, about 7 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain well. Return to the cooking pot.





In a small saucepan, melt eight tablespoons of the butter. Stir into the macaroni. In a large bowl, mix the Muenster, mild and sharp Cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheeses. To the macaroni, add the half-and-half, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese, the cubed Velveeta, and the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the buttered casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and dot with the remaining one tablespoon of butter.





Bake until it's bubbling around the edges, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.Where can I find some real southern comfort food recipes?
When I first read the question, I thought you were talking about Southern Comfort whiskey, but i figured I can still give you my whiskey steak recipe. It's incredibly easy.





All you do is fry off a few pieces of chuck steak (or gravy beef) in a very hot pan, just to seal them. Then lay them flat in the bottom of a crock pot or large casserole dish. While the pan you fried them in is still extremely hot, deglaze it with a generous amount of whiskey, then pour this into the crock over the meat and simmer for seven or eight hours. When the steaks are falling apart, carefully extract them and plonk them back in an extremely hot pan for a fe seconds to give them a bit of a crust, and serve with something hearty like mashed potatoes or hot chips.

ANY food can be comfort food.





Red or Pinto Beans with Ham Hocks, Fried Potatoes, hot buttered sliced Corn Bread, Cole Slaw, and Iced Tea with Sugar are some southern comfort foods to me.
