Macroni and cheese recipe?

Question

I'm looking for a favorite Macroni and Cheese Recipe...do you have one??

Answer 1

Macaroni and Cheese
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, cut into bits
Dash Tabasco sauce
1 12-ounce can evaporated milk (or use whole milk mixed with a little cream)
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon dry mustard, dissolved in a little water
1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350F. Boil the macaroni until just barely done in salted water. Drain and toss with the butter in a large, ovenproof mixing bowl. Mix the Tabasco into the evaporated milk. Reserving about 1/3 cup, stir the milk into the macaroni, then add the eggs, the mustard, and three quarters of the cheese. When well combined season to taste with salt and pepper, and set the bowl directly in the oven. Every five minutes, remove it briefly to stir in some of the reserved cheese, adding more evaporated milk as necessary to keep the mixture moist and smooth. When all the cheese has been incorporated and the mixture is nicely hot and creamy (which should take 20 minutes, all told), serve it at once, with a plate of toasted common crackers to crumble over.

Macaroni and Cheddar Cheese

1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil, 1 turn of the pan in a slow stream
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups whole or 2 percent milk
3 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, ground or freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, a couple pinches
Salt
1 pound elbow macaroni, cooked 8 minutes or to al dente, with a little bite to
it

Heat a medium, deep skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter. When butter
melts into the oil, add flour and combine. Gently cook, whisking flour and
butter together, until smooth and flour has had a chance to cook, about 3
minutes. Slowly add milk while continuing to whisk. Gently bring milk to a
bubble while stirring frequently. Allow the milk to thicken a bit, then stir in
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time. Season sauce with nutmeg
and cayenne. Taste and add a little salt, if you like. Add cooked pasta to sauce
and coat completely by turning over and over in the cheese sauce. Transfer to a
baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Place baking dish under a hot broiler
and brown the cheddar cheese on top.

Answer 3

Here's an easy and quick recipe for Mac & Cheese that's one of my family's favorites!

Just use a box of regular Mac & Cheese (the cheap kind is just as good!) substitute the butter for Cream Cheese (Yep, that's what I said, cream cheese!). You can serve it either right off the stove, or, if you want to get fancy, put it in a baking dish, and top with grated cheddar cheese, and bake it in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and brown. I usually set my temperature at 350 when I put it in the oven.

Answer 5

Mac and Cheese

5 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
4 1/2 cups grated sharp white cheddar cheese(18 oz)
2 cups grated Gruyere cheese( 8 oz) or 1 1/4 cups grated Pecorino Romano cheese ( 5 oz)
1 pound elbow macaroni

Heat oven to 375 F. Butter a 3 quart casserole dish; set aside. Place bread in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Pour butter into bowl with bread, and toss. Set breadcrumbs aside.

In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, heat milk. Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a high sided skillet over medium heat. When butter bubbles, add flour. Cook whisking 1 minute.

While whisking slowly pour in hot milk. Continue cooking whisking constantly until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick.

Remove pan from heat. Stir in salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, 3 cups cheddar cheese, and 1 1/2 cups Gruyere or 1 cup Pecorino Romano set cheese sauce aside.

Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add macaroni cook 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer's directions until the outside of pasta is cooked and the inside is underdone. (Different brands of macaroni cook at different rates; be sure to read the instructions.) Transfer macaroni to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well. Stir macaroni into the reserved cheese sauce

Pour mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Gruyere or 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano, and breadcrumbs over top. Bake until browned on top, about 30 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes; serve hot.
