TWO-CHEESE MAC 'N CHEESE
A lot of stories claim that mac and cheese was created by Thomas Jefferson, Marco Polo or the cooks of China. My favorite theory? An Italian housewife invented it to introduce non-Italian Americans to macaroni. -Stephanie Sorbie, Glendale, Arizona

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the chicken in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Toss with the hot sauce, celery salt, 4 tablespoons melted butter and black pepper to taste. Bake until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
- Shred the chicken and transfer to a medium bowl, along with any juices from the baking dish. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and set aside. Wipe out the baking dish with a paper towel and brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons butter. Add the panko and cayenne and season with some salt. Saute until deeply golden, stirring constantly, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the thyme. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the pasta and cook to slightly less than al dente, about 3 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain.
- In a medium pot over medium heat, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. When the foaming subsides, add the celery and onion. Cook until softened, 4 minutes. Add the flour and stir to coat. Continue to cook, stirring, 1 minute. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously, and bring to a simmer. Add the Cheddar, gruyere and Parmigiano-Reggiano and whisk until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the pasta to the cheese sauce and stir to coat evenly. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Top with the chicken mixture and half of the blue cheese. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and bake until bubbling around the edges and completely warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Top with the remaining crumbles of blue cheese and celery leaves. Serve immediately.
ULTIMATE MAC 'N' CHEESE CASSEROLE FOR TWO
Ooey-gooey, cheesy and bacon-y pasta: It's all here, and it will surely tempt you. Why? Because the orecchiette pasta is covered with the silkiest sauce of gruyere and sharp white Cheddar. Because crispy bacon pieces are sprinkled throughout the dish and on the top. Need I say more? The orecchiette pasta is the perfect shape for this dish because the cheese and bacon nestle into the pasta's earlike grooves to give you the ultimate mac 'n' cheese experience.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly spray a 2-quart oven-safe casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente, following the directions on the pasta package. (You'll want it to still have a bite to it because it will finish cooking in the oven.) Drain well.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking vigorously, 1 to 2 minutes. Continue to whisk as you add the milk, then let the mixture gently come to a simmer and thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Add the Cheddar and gruyere and stir together with a spatula until all the cheese has melted. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Add the pasta to the cheese sauce and gently toss until everything is covered. Sprinkle half the bacon into the skillet and toss to incorporate. Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with the remainder of the bacon, then bake, uncovered, until the mixture is bubbly and the pasta is cooked through, 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

MAKE-TWO MACARONI AND CHEESE
From the Houston Chronicle, in response to a reader request. Very basic mac and cheese with mild flavor. When baked, the top gets nice and crunchy. Perfect for OAMC as directions for baking from frozen are included. Also very economical. I usually keep several foil pans of this in my freezer and throw one in the oven when roasting a chicken for a super easy meal. I like extra cheese on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, melt butter in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Whisk in flour, bouillon and dry mustard. Gradually add milk. Cook and stir until bouillon dissolves and mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- Add 2 cups cheese; stir until melted. Stir in macaroni. Turn into two lightly greased 1 1/2 quart baking dishes. Top each with one cup shredded cheese. Bake one dish 20 to 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- Cover second dish tightly with aluminum foil; freeze.
- To bake frozen macaroni and cheese: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake frozen casserole uncovered one hour or until bubbly and hot in center. (These are the directions in the original recipe; however, I usually bake covered so it won't dry out, then uncover at end to crisp up the top. If you choose to bake covered, allow for extra baking time.).

6-CHEESE MACARONI AND CHEESE
If you're like me, you're always on the quest for the 'perfect' mac and cheese. Now, I've eaten a lot of mac and cheese because it's the ultimate comfort food, and my family and I love it, but I had never found the penultimate recipe for it...always on the search...well, I think I may just have come up with it! Using the mac and cheese recipe posted at the splendidtable.com as a jumping-off point, I devised this version which is rich, creamy, super-cheesey, and inordinantly delicious. I can certainly be significantly lightened down by using low-fat milk and cheeses.

Steps:
- Boil elbow macaroni in plenty of salted water until al dente. Drain.
- Grease a 9 X 13-inch pyrex baking dish. Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Meanwhile, in a small processor, combine milk, cream cheese, mustard, garlic, hot sauce and salt.
- Pour drained pasta and milk/cream cheese mixture back into pot pasta was cooked in . Allow to 'sit' in pot for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This is an important step and must not be left out as it allows the sauce to start thickening and be absorbed by the pasta and not just settle in the bottom of the baking dish. After 15 minutes, add various cheeses and beaten eggs and mix well altogether.
- Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake until golden-brown and bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.
- Note: This recipe can be made even more decadent by browning 1/2 cup of dry breadcrumbs in 1 tblsp melted butter in a small skillet. Stir in 1/4 cup parmesan cheese at the end and sprinkle over mac and cheese for final 10 minutes of baking.

MACARONI 'N' CHEESE FOR TWO
From The Best of Country Cooking Cookbook, c. 2003. I love mac 'n cheese, but with just the hubby and I, there is always way too much. I love that this recipe is just for two - though I'm sure it could be doubled or tripled to feed more. Cooking time doesn't include cooking the macaroni.
