Beyond Macaroni & Cheese image

This dish is da bomb! Once I tried it, I knew I'd never need to look for another macaroni & cheese recipe. From Zondervan's Beyond Macaroni & Cheese (Lagerborg and Parks 1998)

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces elbow macaroni, boiled and drained
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon hot water
3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup milk
1/2 cup seasoned croutons, crushed

Steps:

  • Combine macaroni, butter, and egg in a large mixing bowl.
  • Dissolve salt and mustard in hot water; stir into macaroni.
  • Mix in cheese, reserving enough for topping.
  • Lightly spray a 2-qt casserole dish with no-stick cooking spray; pour in macaroni; pour milk evenly over macaroni; top with croutons and remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until custard is set and top is crusty.
  • This macaroni and cheese is best baked for about 25 minutes, removed from the oven, topped with croutons and cheese, then returned to the oven to finish baking. Doing this keeps the topping a nice (not overdone) golden-brown.
  • NOTE: 8 ounces elbow macaroni equals 2 cups before cooking. I often use rounded cups of dry macaroni when making this recipe.

This is the best macaroni and cheese recipe I've ever tried. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the bread crumbs on top add the perfect finishing touch.

I love how this dish can be dressed up or down. It's perfect for a casual weeknight meal, but it's also impressive enough to serve to guests.

The leftovers of this dish are even better than the first time you make it. I love to reheat it in the oven until it's bubbly and golden brown.

I love how versatile this dish is. I added some chopped broccoli and red pepper to mine and it was a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

Followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfect. The cheese sauce was smooth and flavorful, the pasta was cooked just right, and the bacon added a nice smoky flavor. My family loved it!

This dish was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. It had a creamy mac and cheese base, the perfect amount of spice from the chorizo, and a nice crunch from the bread crumbs on top. 10/10, would definitely make again!
