Macaroni and Cheese
I have previously posted two different Macaroni and Cheese recipes; one of which was a Crock Pot recipe. There are so many tasty ways to cook up Mac & Cheese, so I thought I would post another very tasty recipe. Besides – homemade Mac & Cheese is always the best! When visiting my in-laws last week, my MIL served us her version of Macaroni and Cheese and I loved it. I can’t decide which recipe I like better! Perhaps I should cook them all up one day and have a taste off. How about you give them a try, and let me know which you think is the best! I linked to the other recipes below.
Macaroni and Cheese
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
- 2 cups small elbow macaroni
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups milk, heated
- 4 cups shredded cheese ( I usually use at least two kinds - Cheddar, Jack, Mozzarella or even Velveeta)
- ½ cup buttered bread crumbs
Instructions
- Cook and drain macaroni according to pacage directions.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Butter 2½ quart baking dish.
- In large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Sprinkle flour into butter and whisk until you have a smooth paste with a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes.
- Add mustard and Worcertershire. Gradually add milk and continue stirring until sauce thickens.
- Reduce heat to low. Add 3 cups cheese and stir until melted. Add to macaroni and stir until well coated. Pour into baking dish- sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Top with the bread crumb mixture and freshly chopped parsley (optional). Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
I have always put the Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard in mine,my mom did too. And so much better with different kinds of cheeses. When I have leftover “blocks” of cheese I keep them in the freezer for this dish, thats when I make it when i have saved enough chese. LOL
This looks dangerously yummy!
I love making macaroni and cheese. I like to change up the recipe from time to time.
MUST MUST try! I could live on this stuff, see what you did? You made me want this at 11 o’clock at night LOL Thanks, def gonna try this!
Can’t wait to try this recipe!
I think the addition of mustard and Worcertershire would give Mac and Cheese a great, grown-up flavor! Looking forward to trying this one.
This looks like a good recipe to try.
