Categories     nut-free    vegetarian    Sunday lunch    weeknight meals    comfort food

Total Time 50 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 0S

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb.

macaroni

1

stick butter, melted (plus more butter for baking dish)

4 c.

extra-sharp cheddar cheese, divided 

2 c.

Colby jack-cheddar blend

3

large eggs

2 c.

whole milk

Salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° and butter a large, deep baking dish. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook macaroni according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.  In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta and butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 2 cups cheddar cheese. Add half of the macaroni mixture to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle Colby-cheddar cheese blend over pasta mixture, then top with another layer of pasta (similar to making a lasagna).  In a medium bowl, beat together eggs and milk then pour evenly over pasta.  Cover baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 to 35 minutes. Do not overbake! It may be a bit jiggly when you take it out of the oven.  Turn on oven broiler. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese. (I add a little more Colby jack as well) and broil until golden! It will firm up as it cool.

Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 c.

dried macaroni

1

whole egg

1/4 c.

(1/2 stick or 4 tablespoons) salted butter

1/4 c.

all-purpose flour

2 1/2 c.

whole milk

2 tsp.

(heaping) dry mustard, more if desired

1 lb.

cheese (such as cheddar, jack and/or fontina), grated

1/2 tsp.

salt, more to taste

1/2 tsp.

seasoned salt, more to taste

1/2 tsp.

ground black pepper

Optional spices: cayenne pepper, paprika and/or thyme

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni until very firm. The macaroni should be too firm to eat right out of the pot. Drain.  In a small bowl, beat the egg. In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Whisk together over medium-low heat. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, whisking constantly. Don’t let it burn. Pour in the milk, add the mustard, and whisk until smooth. Cook for 5 minutes until very thick. Reduce the heat to low. Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the egg. Whisk together till smooth. Pour the egg mixture into the sauce, whisking constantly. Stir until smooth. Add in the cheese and stir to melt. Add the salt, seasoned salt and pepper. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed! DO NOT UNDERSALT. Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Serve immediately (very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese, and bake at 350˚ for 20 to 25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.

ULTRA CREAMY BAKED MAC AND CHEESE - INSPIRED TASTE
Our favorite mac and cheese recipe calls on a few smart steps to make sure the macaroni and cheese is ultra creamy and flavorful. While many cheeses can work in this recipe, the two cheeses we go back to again and again are sharp white cheddar and Pecorino-Romano cheese. The cheddar melts down to be creamy and the pecorino adds a sharp salty bite to the sauce. For the creamiest sauce, we hand grate the cheese since previously shredded cheeses don’t seem to melt as well.
