Provided by Food Network

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 pound mild Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
1/2 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 pound smoked Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 pound Brie cheese, rind removed and diced
1 pound elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • For the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of the butter. When foamy, sprinkle in the flour and a pinch of salt. Whisk to combine, then continue whisking until flour is cooked, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk, pouring it in a slow, steady stream. Then whisk in the cream. Bring to a simmer. Set aside 3/4 cup of the mild Cheddar; whisk in the remaining mild Cheddar and the sharp Cheddar, smoked Cheddar and Brie. Continue to stir for 2 minutes or until all the cheese is melted, then turn the heat off. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter until melted and incorporated.
  • For the macaroni: Fill a large pot halfway with water. Season with salt until it tastes like the sea. Bring to a boil, then add the macaroni. Stir, then simmer until macaroni is al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place cooked macaroni into a heat-proof serving dish. Ladle cheese sauce all over, then sprinkle the reserved mild Cheddar on top. Place in the oven just until all of the Cheddar is melted and everything is heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

HAM AND CHEESE BUTTERMILK BISCUITS



Ham and Cheese Buttermilk Biscuits image

They are wonderfully tender, flavorful buttermilk biscuits, and so deliciously easy to whip up! They are also incredibly versatile. You can use pretty much any type of cheese you'd like in these - since the cheese offers the main flavor, if you have a bunch of something else besides pepper Jack you'd like to use up, feel free to change it up however you'd like.

Provided by Rebekah Rose Hills

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
⅓ cup cold butter
⅔ cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
⅔ cup finely diced ham
1 cup buttermilk, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Dice the cold butter up into chunks, and cut it into the dry mixture with your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter, until the mixture resembles coarse sand, and butter is well blended in. Stir in cheese and ham, gently stirring to evenly coat all the cheese and ham pieces with the flour mixture.
  • Use a fork and stir in 1 cup buttermilk. If the mixture is still dry, add a little more liquid at a time until the dough just comes together (it should be a little bit sticky, but not "wet").
  • Shape dough into a ball by hand, handling the dough gently. Then pat the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/2- to 3/4-inch thickness. Use a small biscuit cutter to cut 12 to 15 biscuits out, and arrange them on a baking sheet with sides just barely touching.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until just golden brown around the edges/tops/bottoms and cooked through in the center, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Cool briefly on the baking sheet before moving to a platter or cooling rack. Best served warm!

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.
