ULTIMATE MAC 'N' CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• In a large pot over medium heat, cook the bacon crispy and the fat has rendered.
• Add the garlic, bread crumbs, chives, and parsley. Stir and cook until the bread crumbs are toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot.
• In the same pot on medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until combined.
• Add the evaporated milk and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, mustard powder, and cayenne. Whisk to incorporate and smooth any lumps. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to combine.
• Add the cheddar, Gruyère, Colby Jack, Gouda, and provolone cheese, then fold the cheeses into the pasta. If it seems too dry, add more milk to your liking.
• Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until the mac 'n' cheese is bubbly, melted, and golden brown on top.
• Serve with a sprinkle of the bread crumb mixture for added flavor!

INDULGENT MAC 'N' CHEESE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Take a medium-sized pot or a deep saucepan and to it, add the flour and cook for 2 minutes on medium heat (to toast the flour). Reduce heat to low and add butter and minced garlic. Cook until butter has melted and garlic has caramelized.
• Increase heat to medium and add 4 cups (960 ml) milk slowly, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook until sauce thickens- sauce should be thicker than bechamel.
• Turn off the heat and add garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika or chili powder, mustard powder and nutmeg. After mixing, add 1 ½ cups (150 G) of the cheese to the sauce and combine - do not turn on the heat.
• In a separate pot, boil the pasta in water and cook until al dente. Drain and reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) pasta water.
• Then, put the macaroni in a large pot and add the sauce without heating it. Add the heavy cream, 4 tbsp of milk, pasta water, basil and oregano. Add salt and pepper if needed.
• In a separate pan, toast the breadcrumbs with 1 tbsp of butter and cook for 5 minutes to create a breadcrumb topping.
• Preheat the oven to 410°F. Add half of the mac 'n' cheese to a lightly-buttered baking dish. Before adding another layer, add 1 cup (100 G) of shredded cheese. Then, top with the final layer of pasta and cover with the remaining cheese.
• Add the breadcrumbs on top and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the top gets nice and golden-brown.
• Enjoy!
