SWEET CORN MAC 'N' CHEESE



Sweet Corn Mac 'n' Cheese image

This is the recipe Yvan of Food Network Stars used for his promo and it decided me to vote for him. I was really surprised not to see it listed here already (I did search) so wanted to make sure it's available. A nice creamy, family favorite that's a little differant. If he wins his own show I'll watch it every time it comes on - it's cooking for real families, with an elegant twist. IMHO Finally got around to making this for the family (made in a cast iron pot and served right ont he table in that. It was nice a creamy - but as the title says does have a mildly "sweet" taste from the corn - so if you decide to try this be prepared for that, I wasn't and it took me a minute to get used to get used to that.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Sweet Corn: Fresh sweet corn adds a delicious flavor and texture to the mac and cheese. If fresh corn is unavailable, you can use frozen or canned corn, but fresh corn is always the best option.
  • Cook the Corn Properly: To get the best flavor and texture, cook the corn until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make the corn mushy.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese is the key ingredient in mac and cheese, so it is important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and Monterey Jack.
  • Make a Roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the sauce. Making a roux helps to prevent the sauce from becoming thin and watery.
  • Season the Sauce: Don't forget to season the sauce with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. This will help to bring out the flavors of the corn and cheese.
  • Add Cornbread Crumbs: Cornbread crumbs add a delicious crunchy topping to the mac and cheese. You can make your own cornbread crumbs or use store-bought.

Conclusion:

Sweet corn mac and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet corn flavor, creamy cheese sauce, and crunchy cornbread topping, this mac and cheese is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this sweet corn mac and cheese a try.
