CJ'S SPECIAL MACARONI AND CHEESE



Cj's Special Macaroni and Cheese image

My son, CJ, is allergic to the powdered orange cheesy stuff that passes for cheese in the boxed mac n cheese dinners, but he loves (like every other kid) mac n cheese. Who am I am kidding so do my husband and I! But to eat those mac n cheese recipes made with cream and full fat cheese,simply is too much on my hips and the hubbi's heart. This is my hypo allergenic lower fat but still tastes great recipe! I use Barilla Plus pasta for the extra protein and added fiber and always opt for no or low fat dairy products. Smart Balanceis a good replacement for butter and offers the addd benefit of omega-3's. I also tend to use extra spices (pepper here) when cutting fat, it helps preventthe recipe from going bland.

Categories     Macaroni And Cheese

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (16 ounce) box barilla plus elbow macaroni
6 tablespoons smart balance margarine
2 -3 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups skim milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons black pepper, to taste (I like Lots of pepper)
8 ounces low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
8 ounces low-fat Velveeta cheese, cubed
4 ounces low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a large non stick pot, cook and drain macaroni according to package directions; set aside.
  • In the same pot melt butter. Add flour, stir until well blended.
  • Pour one cup milk in gradually; stirring constantly.Bring to boiling point.
  • Reduce heat to low.
  • Add shredded cheddar and cubed Velveeta a little at a time, simmer until cheese melts into a creamy sauce. (If necessary slowly add up to the other half cup milk to keep cheese sauce thin enough to stir effectively).
  • Turn off flame. Add macaroni to the saucepan and toss to coat with the cheese sauce.
  • Transfer macaroni to a buttered baking dish, cover with tinfoil(spray tinfoil with baking spray so it does not stick).
  • Bake 30 minutes until the top is golden brown.
  • Top with 4 oz sharp cheddar and allow to melt before serving. (Optional).

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Macaroni and Cheese Recipes     Baked Macaroni and Cheese Recipes

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
¼ cup butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
⅛ teaspoon white pepper
3 cups milk
1 pinch ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ cup panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When the butter starts to foam and bubble, stir in the flour; cook on medium heat until flour just begins to turn pale yellow, 3 to 4 minutes. Add thyme, cayenne pepper, and white pepper; cook and stir another minute, then whisk in 1 cup of milk until smooth. Pour in remaining milk and whisk again. Bring the sauce just to a simmer.
  • Stir in nutmeg, Worcestershire sauce, and salt; simmer on medium-low heat until thickened, about 8 minutes, whisking often. Turn heat off, then add 2 1/4 cups of Cheddar cheese; stir until melted and combined. Add Dijon mustard.
  • Transfer the macaroni into a casserole dish, then pour in the cheese sauce; stir to thoroughly combine sauce with pasta. Mix panko bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl, and sprinkle crumbs on top of macaroni and cheese. Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup of Cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bread crumbs and Cheddar cheese topping are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
