Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs macaroni noodles
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
4 cups half-and-half cream or 4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
2 cups colby-monterey jack cheese, fine shred
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (garnish)

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni according to the directions to al dente; do not overcook!
  • Heat a sauce pan over medium heat. Add the butter to the pan and melt. Then add the flour. Start to whisk and make a roux.Whisk until the butter mixture starts to boil and bubble. Cook for another minute until it starts to lightly brown.
  • Slowly whisk in the cream. Continue to whisk and cook until it starts to thicken up.
  • Add the salt, pepper, paprika and Monterey Jack cheese. Whisk until the cheese is melted. The sauce will still be a little "liquidy".
  • Pour about 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce into the bottom of a bowl. Then add about 1 cup of cooked noodles over the sauce.Top this with about 1/2 c of the shredded colby jack. Top with fresh parsley for color. Before you eat; mix it all together in your bowl into delicious perfection.
  • We keep the extra cheese sauce for quick leftovers over fresh noodles or vegetables.

This recipe was easy to follow and the mac and cheese turned out great! I used sharp cheddar cheese and it gave the dish a nice sharp flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was amazing! I've tried many mac and cheese recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the cheese sauce was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again.
