do you know good recipe for macaroni and cheese?

Question

I hate the artificial flavors, so i want one recipe for homemade macaroni and cheese :)

Answer 1

i make this recipe at least once a week my family loves it.

INGREDIENTS

1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 pound elbow, shell or other bite-size shaped pasta
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons flour
2-1/4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese


DIRECTIONS

Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in large soup kettle. Add salt and pasta. Using package directions as a guide, cook until al dente. Drain. To prevent sticking, drain and immediately pour onto a large lipped baking sheet and let cool while preparing sauce.

Meanwhile, microwave the milk and chicken broth in a 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup or bowl until hot and steamy (not boiling). Melt butter in the empty pasta pot; whisk in flour, then hot milk mixture. Continue to whisk until thick and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in mustard, Parmesan and pepper. Turn off heat, stir in cheddar until melted.

Add drained pasta (and optional flavoring ingredients, see notes) to sauce, and stir until everything is well combined over low heat. Stir to heat through, and thin with a little water if the sauce is too thick. Serve hot.

Answer 3

This is a recipe that Alton Brown has on the Food Network page --- I have made it a couple of times and it is really delicious:

BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE

1/2 pound elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon powdered mustard
3 cups milk
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 large egg
12 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Fresh black pepper
Topping:
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente.

While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pot, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and mustard and keep it moving for about five minutes. Make sure it's free of lumps. Stir in the milk, onion, bay leaf, and paprika. Simmer for ten minutes and remove the bay leaf.

Temper in the egg. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Fold the macaroni into the mix and pour into a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.

Melt the butter in a saute pan and toss the bread crumbs to coat. Top the macaroni with the bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and rest for five minutes before serving.

Remember to save leftovers for fried Macaroni and Cheese.



Alton also has a recipe for stove-top macaroni and cheese:

Answer 4

This is how my grandma made hers:

1 pkg of elbow or salad macaroni
1 brick of cheese (your choice - I like both cheddar and colby-jack), shredded
1/2 C milk
1 T flour
onion salt

Cook the macaroni according to package directions, then toss it with the shredded cheese in a large, oven-ready casserole dish. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and flour and enough onion salt to taste, until it is smooth and creamy. Pour this into the macaroni and cheese mixture, then put the whole thing in a 350 degree oven until it is bubbly and the top starts to brown a little - about 30 minutes or so.

This is STILL my favorite kind of mac-n-cheese!

Hope this helps.

Paula Deen's recipe is my very favorite. If you like the creamy, on the stove top type this isn't for you, but if you like a baked type you should love it.
