TASTY BAKED MAC N CHEESE



Tasty Baked Mac n Cheese image

I love this recipe because it's taken me so long to actually get a good tasting noodle and not just a good tasting piece of cheese on top. This recipe was just trial and error and it's really really good in my opinion. I'm really looking for feedback on this recipe. Thanks so much! This is really good even days after for leftovers. The cheese remelts and the flavor really sets in. Enjoy!

Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup butter, softened - divided
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality cheese blend. A combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other cheeses, such as Gouda, Gruyère, or Fontina.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente. This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked macaroni will become mushy and lose its shape.
  • Make a creamy cheese sauce. The sauce should be thick and creamy, but not too heavy. Use a roux (a mixture of flour and butter) to help thicken the sauce.
  • Add mix-ins to your liking. Some popular mix-ins include cooked bacon, diced ham, peas, or broccoli. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a little spice.
  • Bake the macaroni and cheese until it's golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 20-30 minutes in a 350°F oven.

Conclusion:

Baked macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking, so feel free to experiment with different cheeses, mix-ins, and baking times. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a baked macaroni and cheese that's sure to impress your friends and family.
