Answer 5

The best thing to do is to add finely chopped fresh herbs (I prefer sage and oregano) to the cheese mixture and add some toasted pine nuts to the breadcrumb crust. I saw one version made from 70% parmesan and 30% blue cheese on TV today- I would say it's good to also get creative with your cheese! If you like that southwest kick, mix some chipotle puree into a sauce made from asiago and monteray jack cheeses. You can adapt any recipe to suit any type of cheese, really.

Answer 7

This is the one I always use:

2 cups (8 oz.) elbow macaroni, uncooked
3/4 lb. (12 oz.) VELVEETA Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product, cut up
1/3 cup milk
1/8 tsp. pepper

COOK macaroni as directed on package; drain well. Return to pan.
ADD remaining ingredients; mix well. Cook on low heat until VELVEETA is melted, stirring frequently.



It's right off the Velveeta box. You can jazz it up if you like by adding other shredded chesses like colby jack or cheddar.

This is the way my mama makes it, no boxed crapola for us! I make this for my kids this way and they love it as well...I cut this one from epicurious and it is the exact recipe my mum gave me when I left home to live on my own! The Cayenne and Dry Mustard are the key to the success of this dish!


MACARONI AND CHEESE

When preparing the following pastas in advance (up to six hours), keep them covered and chilled and then let them come to room temperature before baking.

7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1 pound elbow macaroni
3 cups coarsely grated extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (about 12 ounces)
1 1/3 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup fresh bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter a 3- to 4-quart gratin dish or other shallow baking dish.
In a heavy saucepan melt 6 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat. Add flour and cook roux, whisking, 3 minutes. Add milk in a stream, whisking, and bring to a boil, whisking. Add mustard, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes.

In a kettle of salted boiling water cook macaroni until just al dente, about 7 minutes, and drain well. In a large bowl stir together macaroni, sauce, Cheddar, and 1 cup Parmesan and transfer to prepared dish.

In a small bowl stir together bread crumbs and remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and sprinkle evenly over macaroni. Cut remaining 1 tablespoon butter into bits and scatter over topping.
