White Cheddar Mac & Cheese image

My mac and cheese is simple and has lots of flavor from the cheeses and ground chipotle chile. I use conchiglie pasta because its shape allows more melted cheese to pool inside. Yum! -Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

Categories     Weeknight

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb penne or 1 lb cavatappi pasta
3 cups milk (I use skim to lower the calories)
1/2 cup half-and-half
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
4 cups white cheddar cheese
2 cups swiss cheese or 2 cups gruyere cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 pinch nutmeg
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook noodles until they are al dente.
  • Shred the block of white cheddar cheese.
  • In a medium pot, combine milk and half and half and gently warm but do not let boil. In a separate large pot, melt butter over med-low heat. Whisk in flour until smooth and thick. Slowly add warm milk into flour mixture, whisking to smooth out any chunks. Add mustard, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Slowly add cheddar, whisking in until the cheese begins to melt. Add swiss/gruyere mix and continue whisking until semi-smooth (you will have some globs of cheese).
  • Pour noodles into a 13×9 baking pan. Pour cheese mixture over noodles, sprinkle with more salt and pepper and mix well. Using a kitchen shears, snip rosemary sprigs into small pieces over the macaroni. Use your fingers to strip any remaining leaves off the rosemary. Stir again and sprinkle panko crumbs over the entire dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes.

ONE-PAN WHITE CHEDDAR MAC AND CHEESE



One-Pan White Cheddar Mac and Cheese image

If you can make boxed macaroni and cheese, you can make this one-pan, scratch-made mac and cheese! The bacon, chives, and crispy bread crumb topping add some great extra flavor and texture.

Provided by fabeveryday

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
2 ½ cups milk
2 cups water
1 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup margarine
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ cups shredded white Cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
¼ cup panko bread crumbs
¼ cup real bacon bits
1 tablespoon snipped chives

Steps:

  • Combine macaroni, milk, water, garlic salt, and salt in a Dutch oven on a stovetop over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently so noodles don't stick to the pan, until noodles are soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat and stir in margarine and pepper until melted. Stir in Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese until melted.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Top pasta with bread crumbs, remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, and bacon bits.
  • Place Dutch oven under the broiler until topping is lightly browned and crispy, 1 to 3 minutes. Top with chives and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for sharp white cheddar cheese, fresh rosemary, and creamy milk. - Don't overcook the macaroni. Al dente pasta is best in mac and cheese, so cook it according to the package directions minus 1 minute. - Make a roux with butter and flour to thicken the cheese sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming grainy. - Add the cheese sauce to the macaroni gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from clumping. - Season the mac and cheese with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little spice. - Top the mac and cheese with panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese before baking. This will give the dish a crispy, golden-brown topping. - Let the mac and cheese rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the sauce to set and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

This rosemary white cheddar mac and cheese is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your mac and cheese gooey or firm, mild or spicy, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a cheesy pasta dish, give this rosemary white cheddar mac and cheese a try. You won't be disappointed!
