Sprinkle everything with breadcrumbs I prefer to use Panko breadcrumbs for this recipe they are larger and crisp better.Pour the mac and cheese into the prepared casserole dish.Make the creamy sauce and mix everything together.Cook the pasta for about 2 minutes less than indicated on the package, as it will continue cooking in the oven.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).Just follow a few additional simple steps. For a bit of heat, you can add some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to taste.Ĭan I make baked mac and cheese without flour?ĭefinitely! The stovetop macaroni recipe can also be baked in the oven. Other ingredients: a little butter, mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika powder, garlic powder.The whole milk might seem like a feeble attempt to lower the calorie count, but it works fine, so I keep using it. Half and half: you can use only heavy cream if you like.Many people don’t like to use it, and I have to admit I rarely buy it myself, but I find it is a must in this recipe. American cheese: it makes the dish creamier than you could possibly imagine.I shred them all in the food processor, and that’s it just make sure you have more or less 2 cups of it. I often make this recipe using cheese leftovers I find in the fridge.And mozzarella is excellent for stretching, so if you like that, add some to the combo. But mozzarella combined with Parmesan cheese or another stronger-tasting sort will be great. What I would not use is mozzarella alone I find it too plain if standing alone.Try different types of cheese like Gouda, Gruyere, Jarlsberg Swiss cheese, Colby, or a combination. Can I replace Cheddar? My favorite sort for this mac and cheese recipe is Cheddar, but another kind of cheese is fine as well.Don’t use already pre-shredded the additives it contains will prevent it from melting nicely, so the dish will not have that desired creamy texture. Vital tip: buy a block of cheese and grate it yourself on the box grater or in the food processor.I like using sharp Cheddar cheese it has the best flavor. Whole wheat pasta might not be typical, but it tastes great as well.It’s preferable, however, to use a short kind of pasta.
However, rest assured the dish will taste just as excellent with your pasta of choice. You can change up the seasonings as you like! I've just included what I use in mine.The recipe calls for cheap and simple ingredients. You probably won't use the whole pound of pasta, but it's good to cook the whole thing so you get the right sauce/pasta ratio. Sharp cheese is better! The flavor will be slightly diluted in the roux/milk mix. The more processed the cheese is, the greasier it will get. Use a high quality cheese - cheese that comes shredded and covered in cornstarch is bad. :) The additional butter also made it greasy. 4 tablespoons of each still make enough roux to thicken additional milk/cream. This recipe is easily doubled, but I've found that when I double it I don't increase the flour/butter. You can even do one cup of milk and one of cream if you're feeling crazy! I prefer to use whole milk - I've used lower fat milks in the past and it just tastes a little flat. 2 cups whole milk (room temp is best! - set it out a little before you begin)ġ pound cheese of choice - go for sharp and/or stinky.
