EASY RICE COOKER MAC 'N CHEESE
I bought a rice cooker and wanted to use it for more than just rice. I've made this mac 'n cheese several times and it always comes out delicious! If you like your mac 'n cheese nice and crusty, leave the pot on warm for another 10 to 15 minutes after stirring the cheeses into the cooked macaroni.

RICE COOKER MAC AND CHEESE
Steps:
- Add the macaroni and vegetable broth to the rice cooker. Close the lid and cook on the "steam" setting for 5 minutes. It may take 5-7 minutes to come up to temperature before it begins counting down the 5 minutes of cook time. Stir the pasta twice during cooking, once when the cook time begins to count down, and again when there is about 2 minutes left. Close the lid promptly after stirring each time.
- While the pasta is cooking, cut the cream cheese into chunks. After 5 minutes of cooking, the pasta should have absorbed all of the broth (if not, cook a few minutes longer). Turn the rice cooker to the "keep warm" setting, and add the milk and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese has melted.
- Finally, add half of the shredded cheddar and stir until it has melted, then repeat with the second half. If the cheese sauce becomes too thick or dry for your liking, simply stir in an extra splash of milk. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Heat oven and boil pasta: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add salt generously and cook pasta 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer's instructions (the outside should be cooked but the inside underdone. Transfer to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well.
- Meanwhile, make bread crumbs: Tear bread into large pieces and pulse a few times in a food processor to form very large crumbs. Transfer to a bowl, and add melted butter. Toss evenly to coat.
- Prepare baking dishes: Butter eight 6-ounce shallow baking dishes or one 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Make cheese sauce: Melt butter in a 4-quart pot over medium heat, add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until bubbling but not browning, about 45 seconds. Add milk and whisk to combine. Bring to a simmer, stirring with a wooden spoon (scrape across the bottom and around edge of pot to prevent scorching), until thickened, about 4 minutes. Add fontina, 2/3 cup grated Gruyere, 1 2/3 cups grated cheddar, and 1/2 cup Parmigianno-Reggiano, stirring until completely melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper, add cayenne and nutmeg, and stir to combine.
- Assemble and add cheese topping: Add pasta to sauce and stir to thoroughly combine. Pour into prepared baking dishes and sprinkle evenly with the reserved cheeses, followed by the bread crumbs. If using, top with roasted tomato slices and thyme.
- Bake: Place dishes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until bubbling and cheese is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the macaroni and cheese will taste. Look for high-quality macaroni noodles, sharp cheddar cheese, and fresh milk.
- Cook the macaroni al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will prevent the macaroni from becoming mushy in the macaroni and cheese.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the macaroni and cheese. Sharp cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or Fontina.
- Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces. Adding a roux to the macaroni and cheese will help to create a creamy and smooth sauce.
- Season the macaroni and cheese well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all classic seasonings for macaroni and cheese. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or nutmeg, to taste.
- Top the macaroni and cheese with bread crumbs: Bread crumbs add a crispy and flavorful topping to macaroni and cheese. You can use plain bread crumbs or seasoned bread crumbs, such as Italian bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs.
