Pimento Mac and Cheese Recipe - NYT Cooking image

This recipe combines two classic Southern dishes to create something special: Pimento cheese, a spread for sandwiches, crackers and vegetables, meets mac and cheese for a peppery and spicier version of the traditional baked casserole. The core ingredients of pimento cheese — sharp yellow Cheddar, pimento peppers and cream cheese — cook into a sauce that’s creamier and tangier than the usual purely cheese base.

Ingredients

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for dish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound macaroni elbows
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeño, minced (seeded if desired for mild heat)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
4 cups whole milk
12 ounces sharp yellow Cheddar cheese, grated (3 cups)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 (2-ounce) jars sliced pimentos, drained (1/2 cup)

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again.
Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring often, until golden and toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Melt remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add flour and paprika, stir well, and cook until vegetables are coated, about 1 minute.
While whisking, carefully stream in the milk until smooth and incorporated. Bring to a simmer while continuing to whisk. Simmer, whisking often, until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add the Cheddar cheese, cream cheese and pimentos, and stir until the cheese is completely melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add cooked pasta and stir to coat. Transfer to the baking dish and spread evenly. Evenly sprinkle the toasted panko on top. Bake until golden and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then serve.

PIMIENTO MAC AND CHEESE | MARTHA STEWART

Classic mac and cheese gets a touch of Southern charm when the flavors inspired by pimiento cheese are added. Flecks of roasted bell pepper, a little mustard powder and cayenne for zip, and a good amount of sharp cheddar cheese made up the flavor base. And since this mac and cheese is baked in the oven, adding eggs, sour cream, and a little grated onion ensure there will be no dry scoops on plates come dinnertime.
