THE BEST BAKED MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until just slightly softened, about 6 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and rinse under cold water.
• Meanwhile, remove the crusts from the bread and cut into 1-inch cubes. Pulse in the food processor until the bread breaks into bean-sized pieces.
• Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring, until toasted, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, mustard powder and cayenne. Cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and slightly golden, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sauce begins to boil and thicken, about 7 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in the fontina, Gruyere and all but 1 1/2 cups of the Cheddar until fully melted. Stir in the pasta, adding the reserved pasta water as needed to make a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small bowl in the microwave. Brush a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with the melted butter. Spread the pasta mixture in the prepared dish. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar evenly over the pasta, then scatter the toasted breadcrumbs on top. Bake until heated through and just bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

FRIED MAC & CHEESE #SP5

Steps:

• Cook Simply Macaroni & Cheese as directed on package.
• After cooked, place the macaroni & cheese in a large bowl (more deep than wide) and mix the green onions. Set aside to cool for about an hour. This will allow the macaroni and cheese to firm up and stick together. May have to let sit longer if not sticking together. (also great when using left over Mac & cheese!).
• Whisk egg until well blended. This will be used to dip your mac & cheese "balls" into so the flour mixture will stick to it for a batter.
• Take the flour and add the steak seasoning to it. Mix well.
• Use an ice cream scoop or round table spoon to form rounded chunks of mac & cheese.
• Gently dip the mac & cheese balls into the egg batter and then roll in the flour. Place into frying oil and fry until slightly golden brown. (approximately 1 minute on medium heat - - be sure to turn on all sides).
• Repeat the process until you have all fried up!
• Makes about 12.
• Enjoy!
