OOEY GOOEY MAC AND CHEESE

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 16-ounce box cavatappi pasta (I like De Cecco)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, warmed
1 cup evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Fine sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 large egg yolks
1 pound extra-sharp Vermont Cheddar, shredded
8 ounces processed American cheese, such as Velveeta, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
One 8-ounce bag ridged potato chips, lightly crushed

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta per the manufacturer's al dente specifications, then rinse with cold water in a colander. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a 4-quart Dutch oven, melt the butter over low heat, then add the flour, stirring until thickened. Add the cream, evaporated milk, cayenne pepper and some salt and pepper, then whisk until thickened to the point that the sauce coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the yolks and a tablespoon or two of the white sauce to temper the yolks, stirring constantly. Add the tempered yolks back to the white sauce, whisking, then add the Cheddar, followed by the American cheese, stirring until the cheese has melted completely. (If the cheese is not melting completely, return the saucepan to the stovetop over low heat and stir just until the cheese melts.) Gently stir in the pasta until coated. (The mac and cheese can be served at this point if desired, for a stovetop version.)
  • Turn the mixture out into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Crumble the chips on top of the mac and cheese and bake until golden brown and bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes. (If traveling with the mac and cheese, put a lid on it and bake on-site, preferably over a campfire!)

MOM'S GOOEY LASAGNA



Mom's Gooey Lasagna image

My mom makes this lasagna for our family, usually in the winter. This summer she took it for Homecoming at church and it got rave reviews from everyone. Needless to say, she took home a somewhat clean pan. Serving sizes and yield are approximate, because you'll probably want a couple of pieces. Also, the sauce can be prepared and refrigerated or frozen for later use. You OAMC people could divide it into two 8" pans and freeze one.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful and gooey lasagna. A blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other cheeses such as Gouda, Gruyère, or Fontina.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, or slightly undercook it, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
  • Use a Dutch oven or large skillet to brown the ground beef and sausage. This will help to create a flavorful base for the lasagna.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce. Use a generous amount of sauce to ensure that the lasagna is moist and flavorful.
  • Layer the lasagna in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Start with a layer of sauce, then a layer of pasta, a layer of cheese, and a layer of meat. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients have been used.
  • Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the lasagna is heated through.
  • Let the lasagna cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the lasagna to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Ooey-gooey chili mac lasagna is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its combination of pasta, cheese, meat, and sauce, this lasagna is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
