I had been talking about fixing home made macaroni and cheese for the last two months, since winter began. Given we finally had a cold day and it’s really not that hard I did the deed today
I make a roux in the double boiler, then add the milk, then the grated cheese until it’s all melted and thick. I must have used close to a pound (454 gm)of extra sharp cheddar cheese. I save some to cover the pasta cheese sauce mix.
While I’m making the sauce I’m boiling the pasta. When that’s ready, I drain the pasta and mix sauce and pasta up real good!
Then I cover with the reserved cheese and place in the oven til the cheese is melted on the top.
Sure to be a hit with children, and domestic partners.
Wow. This is like, all-out mac n cheese. Gourmet style.
Well done!
Thanks.
You make it sound so easy. Mine always turns out wrong, too thick or too chewy…
Thanks, maybe I’m just lucky. Do you make a roux? That helps thicken just stir 2 tablespoons flour into 2 tablespoons melted butter, before you add the milk. That will thicken the milk, and then add the cheese. Keep stirring through the process..
Thanks for the recipe, David…
Happy to share.
