Just halve the amount of ingredients and you are good to go. This dish serves 12 however it can easily be halved.Bake the mac n cheese for only 15-20 minutes as you want the pasta to stay saucy and cheesy.It only needs to be slightly thickened like the consistency of a cream of tomato or mushroom soup. Do not over-simmer and over-thicken the cheese sauce by cooking it too long.Whisk constantly so the flour does not burn. The flour and butter mixture should be cooked for at least 2 minutes to avoid a pasty floury taste.Cook the elbow macaroni slightly al dente as no one wants mushy noodles in their macaroni and cheese.Do not overbake as you want the casserole to still be rich and creamy. Then spoon in the remaining macaroni and top with the remaining shredded cheese.īake uncovered for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. Spread half of the remaining shredded cheese over the pasta layer. Now layer half of the macaroni in a greased deep 9×13 inch baking dish. In a large bowl combine the cheese sauce with the cooked elbow noodles. Now reduce the heat to low and whisk in the half of the mixed cheeses a little at a time. Let it slightly thicken for just a few minutes whisking frequently. Stir in the milk and half and half in several intervals alternating between the two. Now cook for 2 minutes whisking constantly. Then sprinkle in the flour whisking continuously. Meanwhile in a large pan over medium heat melt the butter. Start by cooking your noodles slightly al dente according to package directions and drain well. There is nothing too complicated here as most grocery stores carry a small section of good quality cheeses like cheddar, white cheddar and gruyere. The ingredients for this tasty dish are readily available at most supermarkets.This pasta is a cinch to make so even the novice cook can handle this tasty side dish.No artificial anything here just pure unadulterated comfort food.
I love to serve it with Ham Steak, Dry Rub Grilled Pork Tenderloin, and Grilled Marinated Chicken. My family just devours this like it is their last supper. Nothing speaks family friendly comfort like homemade mac and cheese. This seems to produce the creamiest cheesiest blend for this classic comfort food dish. I like to use a three cheese blend of sharp cheddar, white cheddar and Gruyere. This Baked Macaroni and Cheese is over the top heavenly creamy with oodles of the perfect blend of cheeses.
