Q: As a good Southern girl, I've eaten a lot of macaroni and cheese in my lifetime, but nothing tops the Triple Cheese Macaroni version they serve at the OK Cafe. Any chance they'd share their yummy secret?
-- Tammy S. Davis, Marietta

A: This macaroni and cheese is not just for kids. Three cheeses and some special seasonings make this dish a hit. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap (such as Saran Wrap), then aluminum foil, to steam it and make it creamier.

Hands on time: 15 minutes  Total time: 1 hour  Serves: 6

Ingredients:

    8 ounces elbow macaroni
    2 eggs
    3/4 cup whole milk
    1/2 cup half and half
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1/2 teaspoon chopped parsley
    1/4 teaspoon sugar
    Pinch cayenne pepper
    3/4 teaspoon sea salt
    1/2 tablespoon ranch seasoning
    10 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
    5 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated
    5 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cook the macaroni according to package directions, drain and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, half and half, cream, parsley, sugar, cayenne, salt and ranch seasoning and mix until well blended. Add the macaroni, cheddar, Monterey Jack and Parmesan cheeses and mix until fully incorporated. Pour into a large baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap (such as Saran Wrap), then cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
