Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon salt
1 pound elbow, shell or other bite-size shaped pasta
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup flour
1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in large soup kettle. Add salt and pasta. Using package directions as a guide, cook until al dente. Drain. To prevent sticking, drain and immediately pour onto a large lipped baking sheet and let cool while preparing sauce.
  • Meanwhile, microwave the milk and chicken broth in a 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup or bowl until hot and steamy (not boiling). Melt butter in the empty pasta pot; whisk in flour, then hot milk mixture. Continue to whisk until thick and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in mustard, Parmesan and pepper. Turn off heat, stir in cheddar until melted.
  • Add drained pasta (and optional flavoring ingredients, see notes) to sauce, and stir until everything is well combined over low heat. Stir to heat through, and thin with a little water if the sauce is too thick. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful cheese blend: A combination of sharp cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère will give your mac and cheese a rich, complex flavor.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente: This will prevent it from becoming mushy when it's combined with the cheese sauce.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the cheese sauce. This will prevent it from being too thin and watery.
  • Add milk or cream gradually: Slowly whisk in the milk or cream to the cheese sauce, until it reaches the desired consistency. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Top with breadcrumbs: A crispy breadcrumb topping adds a nice contrast to the creamy mac and cheese.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the mac and cheese until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This will help to ensure that it's cooked through.

With these tips in mind, you're sure to make a delicious and creamy mac and cheese that everyone will love. This classic comfort food is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. So next time you're craving something cheesy and satisfying, give this recipe a try.
