Turned nicely brown on top without adding any Panko crumbs which I’d considered using instead of the crumbs you recommended. I cooked the pasta 5 minutes, half the recommended time, and we mixed it with the other ingredients and then put it into a 2 qt pyrex glass covered casserole in an Oyama convection oven, something I’ve been experimenting with. I did use some excellent Costco sharp cheddar we have (hand shredded) and some shredded Trader Joe’s mozzarella along with some hand-shredded, aged pecorino romano to finish the béchamel sauce off perfectamente. I didn’t have any white pepper, but no matter what my wife cooks has black specks in it anyway - she uses our smoke alarm as an oven timer. It’s like little radiators, and it holds sauce much more better.Īnd then, while I did use the mustard powder, I had to use black pepper. So I used 250 gm of that instead of half a pound of small elbow. Then I decided to use my favorite pasta instead of the “traditional” elbow radiator: hard to find, but I have a source at a small Amish store called The Ashery Country Store in Fredricksberg, OH. Since we don’t have milk, I made milk out of a 50/50 mixture of plain green yogurt and water. So this time, I made the recipe EXACTLY the way you said… with a few exceptions.

Old fashioned baked mac has 3 cheeses, cream & a few spices. Not sure why I do this, but it wouldn’t seem right otherwise. This is the ULTIMATE mac and cheese because of the ingredients. So I started as usual by slicing a cucumber, an orange, a jalapeno pepper and a lime, and then frying an egg and broiling a nice piece of tuna. (Bake 30-40 minutes if starting with a refrigerated casserole)Īfter consuming the rest of that yummy apple cake with butter cheese frosting, I said to my wife, Carol, what should we make today seeing as how we are going to the gym now five days a week? And it just so happened I came upon the Hilah Mac and Cheese recipe!!

Bake 20-25 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown.

Sprinkle top with bread crumbs and reserved 1/4 cup Cheddar.

Once coated, spread into your greased pan.

Drain and add the noodles to the cheese sauce.

Add the noodles and boil for only 3-4 minutes until beginning to soften. Remove from heat and stir in cheeses, reserving 1/4 cup Cheddar for topping. Continue stirring, making sure to get the corners of the pot, until mixture comes to a simmer. Whisk in half the milk and continue whisking until smooth.Add mustard, salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low heat for about 60 seconds until you start to smell the flour toasting. Make a roux in a deep skillet by melting butter, then whisking in flour until a smooth paste forms.Set oven to preheat to 375✯ and grease a 1 1/2 or 2 quart baking dish.

Salt it well, cover, and place on high heat.

Put on a quart or so of water to boil for the noodles.

Serve immediately (very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese, and bake at 350˚ for 20 to 25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top. 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. Stir until smooth. Add in the cheese and stir to melt. Add the salt, seasoned salt and pepper.

Pour the egg mixture into the sauce, whisking constantly.

Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the egg.

Don’t let it burn. Pour in the milk, add the mustard, and whisk until smooth. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, whisking constantly. Mac and cheese fans take that cheesy bowl of pasta to the next level with this Brie Mac and Cheese.

In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour.

The macaroni should be too firm to eat right out of the pot.
