Best 6 Super Macaroni And Cheese Recipes

SUPER DELUXE OLD FASHIONED MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a non-reactive saucepan. When bubbly whisk in flour and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring every now and then. Slowly whisk in the milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking on occasion for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in grated cheese. Stir vigorously just until cheese has melted. Then whisk in heavy cream to adjust the texture and season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper. In a mixing bowl combine sauce with sun dried tomatoes and drained macaroni and adjust seasoning. Transfer mixture to a 13 x 9-inch baking pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and dot with remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

SUPER MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a 2-quart casserole; set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and celery and saute for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are very soft. Lower the heat and stir in the flour until well incorporated. Whisk in the hot half-and-half and then the wine. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes, or until the mixture has begun to thicken. Remove from the heat and beat in the cheeses, stirring until they have melted into the sauce.
• Stir in the macaroni and season, to taste, with hot sauce and salt. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole.
• If using the Parmesan, combine it with the bread crumbs in a small bowl. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the macaroni. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the top is golden. Serve hot.

SUPER SIMPLE MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt butter in largish, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low-medium heat.
• Add flour, stirring with whisk or spatula until it bubbles; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
• Do NOT let it brown. [If it browns, save it for brown gravy and start again.].
• Remove from heat and mix in mustard, pepper, cayenne, and Worcestershire; blend well, then add milk APPROXIMATELY ONE TABLESPOON AT A TIME until it is soupy or gloppy. This method prevents lumps.
• Return to medium heat and gradually add the rest of the milk, and the salt.
• Stir or whisk constantly until it comes to a boil (a wooden spatula is a handy tool for this); simmer one minute, always stirring.
• Remove from heat and add cheese; stir occasionally until all lumps of cheese disappear.
• This takes 5-10 minutes, but you can return it to very low heat if necessary.
• Note: Removing it from the heat is not absolutely necessary with Velveeta; but with natural cheese, it is best to melt it this way to avoid clumping and stringiness. Natural cheese will blend much better if it melts into the sauce off the heat, something about how the protein reacts to heat.
• Meanwhile, slightly undercook cook elbows in salted water in large pot and drain and return to large pot.
• Add sauce and mix gently with a lifting motion so the pasta isn't smashed.
• Place in buttered or Pammed casserole dish; I like to use an 11x15 so I get lots of surface area for the crust, but if you don't like crusty mac&cheese use a smaller, deeper pan.
• [At this point, or after mixing in large pot, you can refrigerate it for a couple of days if desired. Let it return to room temp or cook longer. You can also freeze, thaw, and spread in pan.] Top with bread crumbs if desired.
• Bake at 350F for 1 hour or until it's bubbling well and top is browned the way you like it. Mmmm.
