Answer 1

Baked Macaroni & Cheese

Ingredients:
1/6 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/6 pound elbow macaroni
1/12 cup butter PLUS 1/6 Tablespoon butter
1/12 cup shredded Muenster cheese
1/12 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1/12 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/12 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/3 cup half & half
1/6 cup Velveeta, cut into small cubes
1/3 large eggs, lightly beaten
0.042 teaspoon salt
0.021 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground



Directions:

Preheat oven to 350:. Lightly butter a deep 2 1/2 quart casserole. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, add the oil then the elbow macaroni and cook until macaroni is just tender (about 7 minutes). Do not overcook. Drain well and return to the pot.

In a small saucepan, melt the first measure of butter. Stir into the macaroni. In a large bowl, mix the Muenster, mild and sharp Cheddar cheese and the Monterey Jack cheese. To the macaroni, add the half & half, 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheeses, the cubed Velveeta and the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the buttered casserole. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and dot with the remaining butter.

Bake until it is bubbling around the edges, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.

Answer 2

If you only want to make a single serving here is what I would do:

Find a small casserole dish. One that would contain all the food you wanted to eat.

Meanwhile boil the elbows according to package directions.

Since you are only making a small amount I say skip the roux, and do this instead.
Butter your dish, put drained noodles into it. Top it off with a few small pieces of butter, and sprinkle your favorite kind of cheese. Add a mixture of bread crumbs and parmesan cheese for the top, brown under broiler.

Or you could use a penne, and mix it with cream, tomato sauce, basil, gorgonzola, fontina, swiss, parmesan, and bake in oven until heated through.

Answer 3

This recipe is especially good if you already have some leftover cooked macaroni.

2 cups cooked macaroni

1 T. butter (the real kind)

2 t. flour (Wondra flour works best)

1 cup milk (fat content up to you)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar is best)

pinch of DRY mustard powder

1/2 t. onion powder

salt and pepper to taste

1/8 cup plain breadcrumbs (optional)


Have macaroni already cooked and set aside.

Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, until just melted, but not yet brown. Add flour and stir for about 10 seconds until the flour and butter are together. Slowly add milk to the mixture, whisking constantly until the flour/butter mixture is completely dissolved.

Turn heat up to medium, and continue to whisk, until mixture starts to thicken somewhat. Do not allow mixture to boil. When mixture is a pourable, creamy consistency, add cheese, onion powder, dry mustard, salt, and pepper, and continue to whisk until the cheese completely melts into the mixture.

At this point, you can pour the sauce over the macaroni, or for better flavor, mix the macaroni and cheese together, put in a small casserole dish, cover with bread crumbs, and bake in oven for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Answer 4

Cook and drain 1.5 cups of shell macaroni.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt 4-6 oz. of Velveeta cheese product.
To that add 1/2 a can of cream of mushroom soup. Stir well. I like mine a little soupy so I add about 1/4 C. milk. Mix that well too. Pour this mixture over the shells. Mix all up. You can add a can of chicken or tuna. I like it with crumbled hamburger and a little Tabasco sauce!!

Enjoy!

Answer 5

boil some water (salt it)
pour in about 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of elbow macaroni
let pasta boil test for doneness

get butter about 2 tablespoons
shredded cheddar cheese or american cheese slices

drain pasta when done then add the butter and cheese, then little by little add milk or cream until the mac and cheese is to the desired texture or creamyness.

Answer 6

Cook elbow macaroni in boiling water with a little salt and olive oil so it won't stick. Meanwhile, shred about 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese. When pasta is cooked and drained, add 1/2 stick of butter, 1cup of heavy cream, shredded cheddar, pinch of salt and fresh cracked pepper. Combime thoroughly until cheese is melted and all ingredients are incorporated. Enjoy.
