SHANNON'S SMOKY MACARONI AND CHEESE image

Categories     Cheese     Pasta     Casserole/Gratin

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

This macaroni and cheese is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

I'm not a big fan of paprika but this macaroni and cheese was still really good. The cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful.

The macaroni and cheese was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra cheese and spices next time.
