Microwave Mac and Cheese Recipe | Food Network Kitchen ... image

This from-scratch mac and cheese cooks in one bowl, and you don't have to boil the macaroni or cook the cheese sauce separately. Plus, it's ready in less than half an hour. A blend of American and Jack cheeses makes the sauce smooth and tangy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Total Time 15 minutes

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
2 cups whole milk
Kosher salt
1 cup shredded deli yellow American cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup shredded pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 ounces cream cheese
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Stir the macaroni, 1 cup of the milk and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe 4-quart bowl. (It is important that you use a bowl large enough to prevent the milk from boiling over.) Cover tightly with plastic wrap; cut a small slit in the center with the tip of a paring knife to vent excess steam. Microwave on high (at 100 percent power) for 4 minutes in either an 1,100- or a 700-watt oven. Uncover (be careful to avoid the hot steam) and stir. Cover and microwave on high (at 100 percent power) until the macaroni is about two-thirds cooked, a little harder than al dente, 1 1/2 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 3 1/2 minutes in a 700-watt oven.
  • Add the remaining cup of milk, American cheese, Jack cheese, Parmesan, cream cheese and mustard. Stir well, cover tightly and microwave on high (at 100 percent power) until all the cheeses have melted, 4 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 4 1/2 in a 700-watt oven. Stir until thoroughly combined. If there are still some pieces of unmelted cheese, microwave again, covered, in 30-second increments. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits.) If desired, transfer to a decorative dish for serving.

MACARONI AND CHEESE – INSTANT POT RECIPES



Macaroni and Cheese – Instant Pot Recipes image

This is a creamy, cheesy, classic mac ‘n’ cheese! The macaroni cooks in vegetable or chicken broth, and there’s no straining or draining required. For a change of pace, switch out the Cheddar cheese for Fontina, Gruyère, or smoked Gouda.

Provided by Coco Morante

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 6 minutes

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound elbow macaroni
4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth, low sodium)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese (shredded, 3 cups tightly packed)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded, about 2 ounces)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the macaroni, broth, and butter in the Instant Pot.
  • Secure the lid and set the Steam Release to Sealing. Select the Manual setting and set the cooking time for 6 minutes at high pressure.  Perform a quick release by moving the Steam Release to Venting.
