Delilah Winder's Macaroni and Cheese

Recipe #68993 | 1½ hours | 30 min prep | add private note

By: yooper
Aug 13, 2003

A recent "Oprah" show featured the "best of the best." This mac and cheese, from Delilah's restaraunt in Philadelphia, was chosen the best macaroni and cheese in the country. My friend and I did an exhaustive internet search, since the recipe was not posted on Oprha's website. Found it on line at The Philadelphia Daily News website. I'm thinking this has to serve more than 6-8 people, with 2 pounds of macaroni and all that cheese, but I'm posting this as it was written. This looks like a cardiologists nightmare!

    for an extra kick, add some additional grated yellow cheese on top midway into the baking process.

My "economy" version is 1qt half & half, 2 cups evaporated milk, 6 cups extra sharp cheddar, 6 cups assorted pre-shredded blends (like Italian, Mexican and Colby/jack). Use 6 eggs. Otherwise, follow the recipe.

    Tasted more like a cheese souffle than macaroni and cheese. It cost waaaaaayyyy too much money to make, and I found it to be pretty bland. Too bad, because I figured anything with this much cheese in it would have to be good.

    I used to live just blocks from Delilah's southern cuisine stand in Philadelphia. Her mac and cheese is incredible, but very rich, so watch out!! Delilah's mac and cheese was the first entry I included in my food blog at www.3zestylemons.com. I love making it for friends, it's comfort food that garners rave reviews, every time!

    I used all of her cheeses, but the extra-sharp white cheddar, yellow shard cheeddar, and asiagocheese made it dry! Next time I am going to use creamier cheeses, like 2 cups creamy havarti, 2 cups of whole milk mozzarela, 4 cups velveeta cheese, 1 cup muenster cheese, along with 1 1/2 quarts of milk a quart of half and half and maybe some whipped cream cheese. Then, I believe itwould be alot creamier! Overall, it was good, butnot what I expected.
