EASY BUTTERMILK DELUXE MACARONI & CHEESE



Easy Buttermilk Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese image

I wanted to make a small amount mac & cheese but only had Light buttermilk, not regular milk. Then I figured it would work just as well and better yet wouldn't require butter. The buttermilk did work fabulously! This is a creamy, gooey kind of mac & cheese similar to Velveeta mac & cheese , not the baked crusty kind.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 1 6-ounce round

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 quart whole milk
1 1/2 cups whole or low-fat buttermilk
2 teaspoons coarse salt

Steps:

  • Cut out three pieces of cheesecloth into 12-inch squares. Line a colander or medium strainer with all three layers of cheesecloth. Set colander in sink.
  • Combine milk, buttermilk, and salt in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, and heat over medium-high heat until mixture has separated into white curds and translucent whey, about 8 minutes. If using lowfat buttermilk, separation occurs at about 180 degrees and the curds will clump together readily. If using whole buttermilk, separation occurs closer to the boiling point, about 212 degrees, and the curds are finer-grained. When using whole buttermilk, let curds and whey stand off heat for about 3 minutes after separation, so the curds cling together and facilitate the straining step.)
  • Ladle the contents of the saucepan into the prepared colander. Let the whey drain, 1 to 2 minutes. Lift the four corners of the cheesecloth and gather them together. Gently twist the gathered cloth over the cheese and press out any excess whey.
  • Cheese can be unwrapped immediately and served warm, or let stand until cooled to room temperature, about 10 minutes more. To serve a firmer cheese, transfer cheese, in its cloth, to a small flat-bottomed dish or pie plate; refrigerate until cool, about 10 minutes. Unwrap cheese and gently invert onto plate; discard cloth. Tent cheese with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated up to 2 days. Remove from refrigerator and let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature before serving.

MAC AND CHEESE I



Mac and Cheese I image

My family loves Macaroni and Cheese! But being so high in fat, I felt I needed to come up with something a little less "fatty" and good tasting too. I also use cooked spaghetti squash in place of the pasta sometimes.

2 cups macaroni

1 egg white
½ packet artificial sweetener
¼ cup reduced fat processed cheese food, cubed
¼ cup lowfat buttermilk

½ cup crushed saltine crackers

Tips:

  • Use fresh, quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your mac and cheese. Look for sharp cheddar cheese, fresh buttermilk, and high-quality pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Al dente pasta is best for mac and cheese. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and the dish will be less enjoyable.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the cheese sauce. It will help to create a smooth and creamy sauce.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. Sharp cheddar is a classic choice for mac and cheese, but you can also use other cheeses like Gruyère, Parmesan, or pepper Jack. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Add mix-ins. Mac and cheese is a great dish to customize with your favorite ingredients. Try adding cooked bacon, diced ham, or chopped vegetables.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk mac and cheese is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a mac and cheese that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
