EAGLES SPECIAL: McNabb's Mac & Cheese

Here's a challenge from Daily News staffer Theresa Johnson: Guess how many miles you'd have to run to burn off this Eagle-sized dish.


This is the fabulously rich macaroni and cheese that Wilma McNabb serves up for her son, Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. Mrs. McNabb says this recipe easily feeds four football players, so I figure it ought to serve 8 non-football-players, generously. Use the comments link below to tell us 1) Your guess as to how many miles you'd have to run to work off the calories in one of those 8 servings, and/or 2) any suggestions for working off those calories if you're not an NFL quarterback. Winners get a Girlfriends T-shirt and a spotlight in this space in the days to come.

1 box (2 pounds) elbow macaroni
1 block Swiss cheese (8 to 12 ounces)
1 block cheddar cheese (8 to 12 ounces)
2 bags shredded cheese (either taco or pizza style)
2 cups milk
4 eggs
1 stick butter, cut into pats

1 deep-sided, 9-by-13-inch aluminum casserole pan

Boil the macaroni for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the stove when al dente, then allow the pasta to sit in the warm water for another 10 minutes. It will continue to cook and soften.
Drain pasta. Place a layer of pasta on the bottom of the aluminum pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Put about half the chunks of cheddar and Swiss cheese on the macaroni , then add a bag of shredded cheese . Repeat the layering process with more pasta, the rest of the chunk cheese and the second bag of shredded cheese. The layers should fill three-quarters of the pan.
In a bowl, whisk two eggs, then add a cup of milk. Pour this mixture over the top of the macaroni and cheese layers. The liquid should be visible but not overflowing.
Mix the remaining two eggs and add another cup of milk. Add slowly to the casserole until the liquid is visible above the pasta layers.
Cut the sticks of butter into tablespoon-sized pats and place "strategically" around the top of the casserole.
Bake in a 400-degree oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until butter and egg are golden brown. If it still looks milky or liquid on top, bake for a few more minutes.

I would figure you had to start eating carrot sticks and water two weeks in advance to devour scu a fattening dish. Also, living in Newport News, Va for the past 3 years I would sure like to rub some of that Mac and cheees in these so called Red Skins, sporting my new shirt.

It would take SEVEN miles of jogging to burn off one serving of this fabulous mac & cheese. No thanks!!! :)

It would take running over 9 miles to burn off this mac & cheese. It looks good but I don't think it's worth it. Ingredients could be substituted to make the miles less though (fat free milk, fat free cheese)
