Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 12 , 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups milk
8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 lbs elbow macaroni
8 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese
3 ounces feta cheese

Steps:

  • Start large pot of salted water on stove to boil.
  • Heat 4 cups of milk in microwave for 3-4 minutes just to warm.
  • In large dutch oven heat butter to melt and whisk in flour over medium-high heat. Whisk until mixture starts to brown and smell nutty. Whisk in milk and continue to whisk until mixture thickens and is smooth. Add salt.
  • Boil pasta until almost done according to package instructions.
  • While pasta is boiling stir in cheeses starting with the feta and finshing with the jack. Add in small amounts and continue stirring. The feta may not completely incorporate.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir to incorporate. If too thick or if going to serve much later add some of the reserved pasta water.

Tips:

  • For a creamy and smooth mac and cheese, use a combination of cheddar and American cheese. Sharp cheddar provides a bold flavor, while American cheese melts smoothly and helps to create a creamy texture.
  • Cook the macaroni according to the package directions. Al dente pasta is best, as it will hold its shape and not become mushy when baked.
  • Make sure the cheese sauce is thick and creamy before adding it to the macaroni. If the sauce is too thin, it will not coat the pasta evenly and the dish will be dry.
  • Bake the mac and cheese until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will help to create a crispy crust on top of the dish.
  • Serve the mac and cheese immediately, while it is still hot and bubbly. You can garnish it with chopped parsley, crumbled bacon, or bread crumbs.

Conclusion:

Philly-style mac and cheese is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich and creamy cheese sauce, tender macaroni, and crispy crust, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
