a GREAT cookbook!

I recently picked up the Deen Boys' cookbook! "The Deen Bros. Y'all Come Eat" (I believe it's their second one, they do have two out). It is so good! I've only had 3 of the recipes so far, but I plan on trying them all! My favorite is the Ultra Creamy Mac & Cheese Casserole.
It is the best Mac & Cheese I have ever had!

Try it...

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces & softened, plus additional for coating the dish
2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
8 ounces american cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
4 ounces of cream cheese, cubed
1 cup half-and-half
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 13x9-inch baking dish, set aside.

2. In a large pot of water, cook the macaroni according to package directions; drain. Return the macaroni to the pot. Add the cheese to the hot macaroni and stir well. Spread in the prepared dish.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup of butter, the half-and-half, eggs, sour cream, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Pour over the macaroni. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown & bubbling. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Or, just buy the book here! (that way I won't get sued for copy writing....)

Enjoy! :)
