DOUBLE CHEESE MACARONI & CHEESE



Double Cheese Macaroni & Cheese image

The recipe is from "Mary Masters, My Great Recipes" cards I used to get in the mail every couple of months. I made it for my (then) future husband and it's the best baked macaroni and cheese either of us have ever tried. Our 2 sons loved it too! You can use other varieties of macaroni or cheese for a change of pace.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c uncooked elbow macaroni
1-1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
12 oz cottage cheese
1/4 c butter
1/4 c flour
2 c milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain.
  • 2. Alternate layers of macaroni, cottage cheese, and cheddar in greased 2-quarty baking dish, beginning with macaroni and ending with cheese.
  • 3. Melt butter in saucepan; stir in flour and blend until smooth.
  • 4. Blend in milk; heat to boiling, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add salt & pepper.
  • 5. Pour sauce over macaroni & cheese.
  • 6. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • 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 cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente: Don't overcook the macaroni, or it will become mushy. Cook it until it is just tender, but still has a bit of a bite to it.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the sauce. It will help to create a smooth, creamy sauce that coats the macaroni evenly.
  • Use milk or cream: Milk or cream will help to make the sauce rich and creamy. You can use whole milk, skim milk, or even evaporated milk. If you want a really decadent sauce, you can use heavy cream.
  • Season the sauce: Don't forget to season the sauce with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for extra flavor.
  • Top with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers: Before baking, top the macaroni and cheese with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers. This will give it a crispy, golden-brown crust.

Conclusion:

Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that is loved by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your own taste. Whether you like it simple or cheesy, baked or grilled, macaroni and cheese is a delicious and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
