Marion's Mac n Cheese

"Best Mac and Cheese Ever" was the title of this recipe when I saw it on facebook, and my friend Marion made it and said it was delicious! Marion also mentioned that this makes a TON of mac n cheese (enough to fill a 2.5qt dish), so I have listed a half recipe below as well. I wish I knew the author so I could give them credit! If you know please post a comment and I will update the post!

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb elbows macaroni
8 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup muenster cheese, shredded
1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 and 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly butter a deep 2 1/2 quart baking dish. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rapid boil. Add pasta and oil to water. Cook for 7 minutes, or until somewhat tender. Drain well.
