Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups dried macaroni
1 whole egg
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 heaping teaspoons dry mustard (more if desired)
1 pound sharp Cheddar, grated (not pre-grated cheese), plus more for baking
Salt
Seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Optional spices: cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme
1 pound thick-cut peppered bacon
3 yellow onions, halved and sliced
3 tablespoons butter
8 ounces gorgonzola
Cooked sliders and/or macaroni and cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook the macaroni until still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg. In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Whisk together over medium-low heat. Cook for a couple of minutes, whisking constantly. Don't let it burn. Pour in the milk, add the mustard and whisk until smooth. Cook until very thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.
  • Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Whisk together until smooth. Pour the egg into the sauce, whisking constantly. Stir until smooth. Add in the cheese and stir to melt. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and the pepper. Add any additional spices if desired. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed! DO NOT UNDERSALT.
  • Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Serve immediately (while it's still very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese and bake until bubbly and golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until slightly crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and cut into bite-size pieces.
  • In a separate pan, cook the onions in the butter over a low heat until caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Use a fork to crumble the gorgonzola.
  • Put the bacon, caramelized onions and crumbled gorgonzola into separate bowls. Serve as delicious toppings for both sliders and macaroni cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your macaroni and cheese. Use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well, such as sharp cheddar or extra sharp cheddar.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Macaroni and cheese is best when the pasta is cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and ruin the texture of the dish.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces. It helps to give macaroni and cheese a creamy, smooth texture. To make a roux, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is golden brown.
  • Use milk or cream. Milk or cream is added to the roux to create a creamy sauce. You can use whole milk, 2% milk, or even heavy cream. The type of milk or cream you use will affect the richness and flavor of the macaroni and cheese.
  • Add cheese. Once the sauce is hot and bubbly, add the cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and smooth. You can use any type of cheese you like, but cheddar cheese is the most popular choice.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add other ingredients, such as cooked bacon, chopped vegetables, or cooked chicken.
  • Bake or broil. You can bake or broil macaroni and cheese. To bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour the macaroni and cheese into a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. To broil, preheat the broiler to high. Place the macaroni and cheese in a baking dish and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

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 made with a variety of ingredients. Whether you like it simple or loaded with toppings, there is a macaroni and cheese recipe out there for everyone.
