Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
6 tablespoons butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
5 ½ cups milk, divided
2 ½ cups shredded smoked Gouda cheese
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fill a pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a boil. Stir the macaroni into the water and return to a boil. Cook and occasionally stir until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continually for 1 to 2 minutes to make a roux. Whisk 2 cups of the milk into the roux until smooth and then add the remaining milk. Raise the heat to medium-high and continue cooking and stirring until thickened, but not boiling. Stir the Gouda, Cheddar, Swiss, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese into the mixture; once the cheeses have melted completely, fold the drained macaroni into the mixture to coat. Pour the macaroni mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Stir 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl; sprinkle over the macaroni. Drizzle the olive oil over the bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Allow to rest 10 minutes before cutting.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     side dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 pound uncooked macaroni, about 2 cups
Salt to taste, if desired
3/4 pound cooked ham, sliced
1/4 pound mushrooms
1/2 pound sharp Cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon flour
2 cups milk
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil for cooking the macaroni. Add salt to taste. Add the macaroni and cook 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender. Drain and return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, cut the ham into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside. There should be about 2 cups.
  • Slice the mushrooms. There should be about 2 cups.
  • Cut the Cheddar into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Stack the slices and cut them into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Cut the strips into 1/4-inch cubes. There should be about 2 cups.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. Cook for about a minute; then add the milk, stirring rapidly with the whisk. Let simmer about 1 minute and add the nutmeg, Cheddar cheese, and salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a skillet and add the onions and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are wilted. Add the ham and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the cheese sauce, the cayenne and cream. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute.
  • Pour and scrape the mixture into the macaroni and mix well. Transfer to a buttered 10-cup baking dish. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and place in the oven. Bake 10 minutes. Turn the broiler to high.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the macaroni and cheese. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente. You don't want the macaroni to be too soft or mushy. Cook it al dente, so that it still has a slight bite to it.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the sauce. It will help to create a creamy and smooth sauce.
  • Add milk and cheese gradually. When you are adding the milk and cheese to the sauce, do it gradually. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Top with breadcrumbs. Before baking the macaroni and cheese, top it with a layer of breadcrumbs. This will give it a golden brown and crispy topping.

Conclusion:

This Swiss cheese and ham macaroni and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. It is cheesy, creamy, and flavorful, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
