@allrecipes: Lives were changed with this one! 🧀✨ Tini broke the internet with her Viral Mac and Cheese, and we truly haven’t been the same since we tried it. 😌 With over 2 pounds of cheese, this mac is everything and MORE! Continue reading or click the 🔗 in bio for the recipe. ⬇️ Ingredients: 1 pound cavatappi, cooked 16 ounces mozzarella cheese, grated 16 ounces Colby Jack cheese, grated 8 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk 2 cups heavy cream 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Directions: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cook cavatappi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Combine all three shredded cheeses in a bowl and divide half into another bowl. Set aside. Combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Divide in half and set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add half the seasoning mixture and flour. Stir until the mixture becomes paste-like, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add evaporated milk and whisk until thick. Add heavy cream and the rest of the seasonings and mix until combined. Whisk in Dijon mustard until thick. Slowly add in half the cheese, allowing it to melt before adding more. Stir in macaroni until coated with cheese sauce. Add a layer of macaroni and then a layer of shredded cheese to the prepared baking dish. Repeat layers. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 25 to 30 minutes. Finish by broiling until top is golden brown, about 2 minutes.

I made it, I must be alone on this one, but I didn't love it. It was decent but way too rich for me, I ate maybe 2 bites!

My 14yr old picky eater wants me to make baked Mac and cheese but specifically wants breading on top. Does that work for this? (never made baked Mac before). Signed, Nervous Dad

Why was the dish between two racks when it went into the oven and on the top rack when it came out of the oven? What sorcery is this?

I used gruyere instead of mozzarella and it was sooo freakin good. I also add my seasonings to the butter to bloom them when I make any kind of sauce now and it makes an amazing difference

I used Gruyère (16 oz), sharp cheddar (16 oz) and Colby Jack (8 oz) for a little more flavor. Love the broil at the end for the crunchy top. My kids told me I ALWAYS have to make it like this from now on!! Chef’s kiss 💋

I do 5 cheeses, cook my shell pasta in chicken broth, instead of butter I use 1/2 & 1/2 and incorporate my spices (family secret) and I also layer my pasta & cheese in between the layers I spread my 1/2 & 1/2 sauce over (repeat 3x).

I made her recipes last year and it was good, but I will cut back on the cheese. I appreciate her techniques and learned so much from her to make my own twist.
