Salt & pepper, to taste. Then add the pasta to the pot, stir to evenly incorporate.

Baked Mac and Cheese is the ultimate side dish for any meal made with three cheeses, this classic is perfect for the holidays and for summer cookouts! We love a good summer side dish. This recipe pairs perfectly with our and for your best summer cookout ever. Baked Mac and Cheese Recipe We LOVE a good macaroni and cheese. This baked version is our favorite though hands down.

When you’re craving homemade mac and cheese, this southern baked version is a wonderful option. It takes just 15 minutes to prep and 45 minutes of hands-off time, which means you can do more of what you want and spend less time standing over the stove. Baked macaroni and cheese doesn’t have to be complicated with layers of ingredients to be the soul-warming food you crave. This homemade baked macaroni and cheese is my most favorite and has pleased crowds, small families, kids and picky eaters alike–give it a try and you’ll see why. This southern baked macaronis and cheese is full of soul and flavor. Smoked cheddar is the secret to this truly addictive, baked macaroni and cheese recipe.

First time making this recipe and I doubled it! Well most things. I used only 6 cups of milk for the bechamel and subbed 6oz of the sharp cheddar for extra sharp (because I like a saltier Mac). It turned out delicious! I will say, if you aren’t familiar with the consistency of a bechamel (the butter, flour,spices, milk mixture) it should thicken and if it doesnt within the 5 minute time frame turn the heat up a little or cook it longer. I ended up cooking mine for about 15 minutes on medium heat whisking constantly until it was thick and creamy.

In my extensive collection of vintage southern cookbooks there are multiple recipes using a ROUX (not rue). This is a classic southern recipe.

However, I’ve done a variation from your suggestion. The stoneware portion of your crockpot “should” be oven-safe (Crock Pot brand says theirs are, maybe research to be 100% sure). I’ve made the recipe and just poured it into the crockpot stoneware then placed it into the oven for the desired length of time. Then, once it’s out of the oven, the stoneware can be dropped right into the heating base and you can turn it to warm or low to keep it warm and gooey for as long as you need.

The sample dish we made was so much better. Don’t get me wrong, the dish we served drew rave reviews, one guest saying it was the best mac and cheese he ever had. It was very good, just not as good as the fresh test pan we made the night before. Next time I will top it with bacon and sauteed onions. 2 of my guests don’t eat pork so I had to omit. Amazing recipe! I tried it out (exactly per your recipe/oven) for my company’s potluck today.

For best flavor, I highly recommend adding a sharp cheddar to your baked mac and cheese. Just a warning though, don’t use the pre-shredded bagged cheese as it has stabilizers that makes it drier compared to fresh-grated cheese.

The Main Cheese (2 cups) should be a flavoured cheese. My favorites are: cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby, provolone and Gruyere (I used this in the video). Gruyere is my favourite, you can use any melting cheese. I like to use mozzarella for the 2nd cheese (1 cup). It melts really well into the sauce, has that nice stretch, and isn't as oily like other cheese can tend to be.

My children loved it. And they are picky teenagers. (One is even in culinary school). I made it last Thanksgiving and all the guests loved it. The gruyere and half and half are the magic to this dish. The gruyere can be a bit stinky but it is oh so yummy! Thank you, thank you for this recipe!

• Add macaroni to the baking dish. • Pour cheese mixture over macaroni. • Make sure the cheese distributed well. • Top with smoked cheddar cheese. (I add a little more Colby jack as well.) Sprinkle with paprika and/or black pepper, if desired. • Bake for 35-45 minutes. Do not overbake.

Taste your cheese sauce before you add your pasta. That can be because of the cheese you used or even the kind of salt you seasoned with. If it doesn’t have enough flavor, add a pinch more salt, stir it in and taste it again until it suits you. -Feel free to add more pasta if you want to. Some people say that this recipe doesn’t have enough noodles in it, but I’ve never had that problem. And yes, you should cook your pasta before adding it to the cheese sauce.

You’ll make a lot of tummies happy! If your time is limited you could always opt for this or this. Instructions • Heat oven to 400 degrees with rack in the middle of oven.

In a medium bowl beat egg then add about 1/2 cup of the sauce to the egg, return the egg mixture to the sauce, stirring to blend well. Proceed with the cheese and next steps • Don’t use pre-shredded bagged cheese as it is drier. You have to get blocks of it and shred it yourself. • Sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella, jack cheese, are my top fave. Or you can also use pepper jack cheese, gouda, fontina and Gruyere.

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour to melted butter and stir until thickened, about 3 minutes. • Slowly whisk in milk a little at a time.

I know you’ll see some with many types of cheeses and made really rich with cream. Topped with bacon, with lobster and crab. This is not one of those versions.

This is also the reason why I let the pasta cool before mixing in with the sauce. You could just make the sauce while the pasta is cooking.

Always grate your own cheese for cheese sauces. Store bought shredded cheese have anti caking agents which don't melt so can give the sauce a slight powdery texture.

But you could make this with white cheddar, all mild cheddar, sharp cheddar, etc.
