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 large pot. You'll need plenty of room for the macaroni, cheese, and milk to bubble and combine.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente. You don't want it to be too soft or it will become mushy when you mix it with the cheese.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is the star of the show, so don't skimp on quality. Use a sharp cheddar or a combination of cheddar and Parmesan.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the cheese sauce. It's essential for a smooth and creamy sauce.
  • Add the milk slowly. Whisking the milk into the roux a little at a time helps to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other spices, such as paprika or cayenne pepper, if you like.
  • Serve immediately. Double cheese macaroni is best when it's served hot and fresh out of the pot.

Conclusion:

Double cheese macaroni is a classic comfort food that's easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make the best double cheese macaroni you've ever tasted. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
