I've never made "homemade" mac & cheese before. Over the weekend I was watching "America's Test Kitchen" and they made a so-called "perfect" mac & cheese. I got the recipe online and made it last night. Ugh - it wasn't very good at all! It was made with evaporated milk and it didn't even TASTE cheesey although the sauce was very thick and cheesey looking. Does anyone else out there have a good, easy recipe???? Please??????
The cheesier...the better! That is IMHO!
Here's my recipe:
Here's what you'll need:
1 lb macaroni, uncooked
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
2 cups of shredded Kraft Mexican Style Cheese (consists of 4 cheeses - Cheddar, Asadero, Queso Quesadilla and Montery Jack Cheeses)
2 cups half-and-half
8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Here's what you need to do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter the bottom and sides of a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish. Set aside.
In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add macaroni and 2 tablespoons salt and return to a boil. Boil for about 7 minutes. Drain. Return to pot.
Pour the melted butter on top of the macaroni. Add 1 1/2 cups of the Mexican Style Cheese along with all of the velveeta cheese. Mix well until the cheese begins to melt.
Add the half and half, eggs, salt and pepper. Mix well.
Pour the macaroni mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle with the remaining Mexican Stlye Cheese.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until edges begin to brown and are nice and bubbly.
Yummy!
I thought I saw one recently on Food Network, can't place which show, that had one made with lobster? Anybody heard of that one or a recipe with lobster in it? Sounded interesting enough to try sometime.
Other than that, I am not good at making mac and cheese so for now I will just happily take all of your guys recipes for myself, LOL!
