PULLED PORK MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray; place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, and set aside. Fill a large pot with salted water, and bring to a boil over high. Add pasta, and cook according to package directions. Drain.
• While pasta cooks, melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan over medium. Add onion; cook, stirring often, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour; cook, stirring constantly, until onion is coated in flour, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Gradually stir in Cheddar and Colby-Jack cheeses in ¾-cup increments until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Stir pork and drained pasta into cheese mixture in saucepan. Spoon into prepared baking dish. Microwave remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwavable bowl on HIGH until melted, about 30 seconds. Stir in panko until combined. Sprinkle evenly over pasta mixture in baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with scallions. Spoon evenly onto serving plates; drizzle with barbecue sauce, and serve.

ONE-POT RANCH MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Put the milk and macaroni in a large saucepan. Bring the milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep the macaroni from clumping. Continue to boil, stirring frequently, until the macaroni is tender and the milk has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the Monterey Jack cheese, mozzarella, cream cheese, sour cream, butter, cayenne and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Fold in the dill and chives. Serve hot. (The dish will thicken as it cools; thin it out with a little hot water if desired.)

PULLED-PORK MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F.
• Put the pork in a large heavy-duty roasting pan, cover with foil, and roast until the meat is falling off the bone, 5 to 6 hours. Cool until warm enough to handle, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted water according to package directions until just barely al dente. Drain and set aside.
• Shred the pork by hand, pulling it into 2-inch-long pieces. Discard the bone and any excess fat. Set aside 1 lb. of the pulled pork (about 4 cups) and save the rest for another use.
• Raise the oven temperature to 350°F Melt the butter in a large 8-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and very soft, about 20 minutes.
• Whisk in the flour and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in the milk in a slow, steady stream. Raise the heat to medium high and whisk constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and bubble, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Whisk in the white wine, sage, and a 1/2 teaspoons each salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, whisking constantly.
• Reduce the heat to low and use a wooden spoon to stir in the Gruyère, Emmentaler, and fontina. Stir in the reserved pork and pasta until well coated. Pour the mixture into a 12-inch cast-iron skillet.
• In a small bowl, mix the panko, Parmigiano, and olive oil. Sprinkle evenly over the mixture in the skillet.
• Bake until the topping is browned and the cheese sauce is bubbling through the topping and around the edges of the skillet, 40 to 45 minutes. (If the topping begins to brown too deeply, tent loosely with foil.) Let the macaroni and cheese rest for at least 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the chives and serve.
