Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons hot Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon ground mustard
3 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
4 finely chopped scallions, white and green parts
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Frank's or Cholula
8 ounces whipped chive-flavored cream cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups reserved pasta water
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded from the block
8 ounces Gouda, shredded from the block
8 ounces mozzarella, shredded from the block
3 ounces Pecorino Romano, shredded on a box grater
1 pound elbows, cooked al dente in salted water, 2 cups pasta water reserved
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded from the block
8 ounces mozzarella, shredded from the block

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a deep 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
  • Make the sauce. In a large bowl, mix the ingredients in order, combining completely between additions. Start by adding the flour, paprika, ground mustard, garlic, scallions, hot sauce, cream cheese, a pinch of salt and more grinds of black pepper than normal. Mix this until combined completely. In a liquid measure, mix the heavy cream and pasta water together and add slowly to the bowl while whisking. Add the Cheddar, Gouda, mozzarella and Pecorino Romano cheeses.
  • Bake. Add the pasta to the bowl of liquid and stir until the liquid seeps into the elbows and everything is distributed evenly. Pour into the prepared dish. Level with the back of your spoon. Toss together the Cheddar and mozzarella in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the top. Bake until the edges are bubbly and the top is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

NANNY'S SIMPLE MACARONI AND CHEESE



Nanny's Simple Macaroni and Cheese image

Gosh, there are so many Mac and Cheese recipes! I looked at many before deciding to post my favorite recipe from childhood. My grandmother makes this all of the time. My girls and I love it but the Hubby doesn't like it much. "Too bland" he says. Great comfort food!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb elbow macaroni
2 lbs of longhorn colby cheese, sliced to about 1/8 inch slices (I have also used Colby Jack)
milk
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Boil pasta according to package in salted water.
  • For firmer pasta reduce boiling time by a few minutes.
  • Drain.
  • Grease a deep casserole dish (I use a spray).
  • Place a layer of macaroni, enough to cover the bottom, in the casserole dish.
  • Add a layer of cheese slices covering the macaroni.
  • Very lightly season with salt and pepper (I actually skip this and we add salt and pepper to taste on our individual servings).
  • Repeat these layers until you are out of pasta.
  • Pour milk over the casserole until the milk almost reaches the top of the casserole dish (It doesn't take much because the dish is already full of pasta and cheese).
  • Bake covered for about 45 minutes to an hour in a 350 degree oven.
  • You'll know it is finished cooking when the milk is no longer liquid.
  • Sometimes I add leftover ham chunks to the layers.
  • Cook time and servings are approximate!

Tips for Making the Best Macaroni and Cheese

  • Choose the right macaroni. Use a small, elbow-shaped pasta like elbow macaroni or penne for the best results. These pastas hold the cheese sauce well and cook evenly.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente. This means cooking the pasta until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked macaroni will be mushy and won't hold the cheese sauce as well.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the cheese sauce. To make a roux, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is golden brown.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your macaroni and cheese. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic flavor, or experiment with other types of cheese such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or Gouda.
  • Don't overcook the cheese sauce. Once you've added the cheese to the roux, cook the mixture over low heat until the cheese is melted and smooth. Overcooking the cheese sauce will make it thick and rubbery.
  • Add some extras. Once you've got the basic macaroni and cheese down, you can add some extras to make it even more delicious. Some popular additions include cooked bacon, diced ham, chopped vegetables, or even a sprinkle of bread crumbs.

Conclusion

Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that is loved by people of all ages. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and tender macaroni, it's the perfect dish for a family meal or a potluck. By following these tips, you can make the best macaroni and cheese that everyone will love. So, what are you waiting for? Get cooking!
