Macaroni and Cheese image

Try Ree Drummond's creamy Macaroni and Cheese recipe from Food Network.

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups dried macaroni
1 whole egg
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 heaping teaspoons dry mustard (more if desired)
1 pound sharp Cheddar, grated (not pre-grated cheese), plus more for baking
Salt
Seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Optional spices: cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme
1 pound thick-cut peppered bacon
3 yellow onions, halved and sliced
3 tablespoons butter
8 ounces gorgonzola
Cooked sliders and/or macaroni and cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook the macaroni until still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg. In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Whisk together over medium-low heat. Cook for a couple of minutes, whisking constantly. Don't let it burn. Pour in the milk, add the mustard and whisk until smooth. Cook until very thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.
  • Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Whisk together until smooth. Pour the egg into the sauce, whisking constantly. Stir until smooth. Add in the cheese and stir to melt. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and the pepper. Add any additional spices if desired. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed! DO NOT UNDERSALT.
  • Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Serve immediately (while it's still very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese and bake until bubbly and golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until slightly crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and cut into bite-size pieces.
  • In a separate pan, cook the onions in the butter over a low heat until caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Use a fork to crumble the gorgonzola.
  • Put the bacon, caramelized onions and crumbled gorgonzola into separate bowls. Serve as delicious toppings for both sliders and macaroni cheese.

MACARONI SURPRISE



Macaroni Surprise image

I made up this dish one time when I found I was out of spaghetti noodles. The "surprise" was that it was macaroni instead of spaghetti noodles! It has become one of my family's favorites.

Provided by KellyJane

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 1 pan, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (7 1/4 ounce) macaroni and cheese mix
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons margarine
1 lb ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
24 ounces of your favorite brand spaghetti tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Prepare Sauce: Brown (85% lean) ground beef in a deep skillet and then crumble. This does not usually have enough fat to bother draining.
  • Add to the skillet: the can of drained diced tomatoes, can or jar of spaghetti sauce, Italian seasoning, and salt & pepper to taste. (I use "Hunt's Four Cheese" Spaghetti sauce).
  • Cover and simmer the sauce on medium-low heat for approximately 25 minutes.
  • While the sauce is simmering, prepare the box of macaroni and cheese according to the directions on the box. (Hint: It is best to use only just enough milk so that the powdered cheese will dissolve.).
  • Pour the spaghetti sauce into a 13 X 9 glass baking dish.
  • Carefully add the macaroni and cheese as a layer on top of the sauce. Do not stir.
  • In even intervals about 2-3 inches apart, stick a spoon straight down into the dish so that some of the sauce will mix with the macaroni and cheese. Do this going across the pan lengthwise in two rows. Do not stir the entire dish.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  • Sprinkle Italian bread crumbs over the cheese in a very thin layer.
  • Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning or Oregano over the bread crumbs.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted in a 350 degree oven.
  • Let stand for 5 minutes and then cut and serve like lasagna squares.

NO-BAKE MACARONI AND CHEESE



No-Bake Macaroni and Cheese image

This lighter mac 'n cheese is as deliciously creamy as a traditional version; the perfect texture comes from the evaporated milk, reduced-fat cheddar and Neufchatel cheese. The secret ingredient -- which makes these creamy ingredients go a long way -- is cooked cauliflower blended into the sauce. You don't know it's there, but it adds value to your meal by stretching the sauce while sneaking in a serving of vegetables.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated low-fat milk
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
Pinch cayenne pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups cauliflower florets (from 1/2 head cauliflower, about 12 ounces)
4 cups medium pasta shells
6 ounces coarsely grated 75 percent reduced-fat extra sharp cheddar (recommended: Cabot)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 ounces Neufchatel cheese
Toasted whole-wheat breadcrumbs for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg, evaporated milk, mustard powder, cayenne, nutmeg, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl; set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cauliflower until tender and almost falling apart, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or sieve. Add the pasta to the same water and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/4 cup pasta water. Save the pot.
  • Put the egg mixture and cheeses in the empty pot and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the cheese melts and the sauce begins to thicken, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the cauliflower and puree with an immersion blender until smooth and light. Stir in some of the reserved pasta water to adjust the creaminess of the sauce as needed. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss, season with salt and pepper. Serve, sprinkled with breadcrumbs if desired.

SUPER CREAMY MACARONI AND CHEESE



Super Creamy Macaroni and Cheese image

This is a no bake, one pot recipe that my kids think is the best! For a special surprise, add a 15 ounce can of well drained regular diced, or my favorite, fire roasted tomatoes at the very end. You can broil this for a few minutes if you like the browned cheese look. Will lose it's creaminess if left to sit or is reheated, but still tastes great.

  • If you have made basic white sauce, you will know when it is thick enough.
  • Remove pot from heat.
  • Add cheddar cheese and stir until cheese starts to melt.
  • Add macaroni and stir until coated.
  • Pour into a 9 x 12 baking dish or 2 quart casserole.
