Preheat oven to 350
Cook macaroni until just al dente or a little
under al dente. (Look on the back of the box to
see how long you need to cook your pasta for it to
reach al dente.) Be careful no to overcook.
Drain pasta and set aside.
In a large bowl, add milk, heavy cream & cheeses
(except for the smoked cheddar).
Stir to combine.
Taste the milk mixture and add salt & pepper until
it has a good taste. You can also add in other
seasonings like onion, paprika, etc. Tasting will
help avoid having a plain, bland bake macaroni &
cheese. Yuck!
When you are content with the taste, add in the
eggs.
Stir well until combined.
Butter a 9 x 9 inch baking dish.
Add macaroni to the baking dish.
Pour cheese mixture over macaroni.
Make sure the cheese distributed well.
Top with smoked cheddar cheese.
