Ingredients:

2 cup dried elbow macaroni (4 cups cooked)
1/3 cup grated Cheddar
1/3 cup grated Swiss
1/3 cup grated Jack
1/3 cup grated Colby
1/3 cup grated Muenster

4 tablespoon butter, cut into pieces

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Season water with salt and cook macaroni until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl. While pasta is still hot, add all cheeses. In a separate medium bowl, using a whisk, combine the sour cream, butter, eggs, salt, pepper and milk and add to the macaroni mixture. Spray casserole dish with nonstick spray and pour macaroni mixture into the dish. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown. Top with additional cheese, if desired.

THERE IS A TYPO!!! FOUND THE FOOD NETWORK VERSION AND IT CALLS FOR 3 EGGS INSTEAD OF 6. Based on all you're reviews this makes sense, so I recommend anyone trying this to use 3 eggs NOT 6.

I also think it has to be a typo!!! WAY to many eggs!!!!!!!!!! But if it wasn't for that, I think I would have loved it. The flavor was exactly what I was looking for... just more like pasta, and less like egg bake!!!

This recipe is the best one I've found. The blend of the 5 cheeses are exceptional. I make this recipe for holiday's such as Thxgiving and Christmas, and since the first time, I must make it every holiday upon family memebers request. I add Velvetta for a even creamier/richer texture and taste.

I tried this several times and found it was too dry. I reduced the eggs, increased the milk and changed the cheeses. I like Feta cheese so I used it instead of Muenster. It gives the dish a little different taste but I liked it, so did my family.

The flavor wasn't bad, as I used a ton of expensive cheese. But, it was more like a macaroni and cheese omelet. I doubled the recipe and used 12 eggs my guests were not so impressed. I think perhaps it is a typo????? Please Paula review this recipe and let me know if you really meant 6 eggs..
