Cajun Mac and Cheese

Preheat oven to 350F.

Prepare a 9" x 13" casserole dish by applying grease and keep it aside.

Cut the andouille sausage into small chunks. Cook the sausage beforehand and keep it aside.

Prepare the elbow noodles as per the instructions on the package.

Combine the milk, heavy whipping cream, and eggs thoroughly by whisking while the noodles cook.

Whisk the paprika, 2 teaspoons of basil, 2 teaspoons of cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper into the milk mixture.

After cooking the noodles, don't drain them and instead put them directly into the milk mixture. Additionally, include the sliced and precooked sausage.

Mix in 4 cups of cheese into the milk mixture and stir in with the noodles and sausage until well coated.

Transfer the mac and cheese blend into the casserole dish that has been prepared.

Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of cheese on top and then add the remaining 1 teaspoon of basil and cajun seasoning.

Bake the casserole dish for 35 minutes by covering it with tin foil. Once done, remove the tin foil and continue baking until the cheese melts entirely.
