Bonnies Mothers Macaroni And Cheese Recipes

BONNIE'S WESTERN MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• 1. Boil the pasta until al dente or to your taste.
• 2. Don't overcook.
• 3. Melt the 16 ounces of cubed Velveeta cheese and the 2/3 cup of milk. I don't have a double boiler, so I use one pot inside the other and fill the bottom pot with about 2 inches of water. Whisk the mixture until it melts.
• 4. Then add the 8 ounces of Vermont White Cheddar Extra Sharp grated cheese.
• 5. Whisk it into the mixture.
• 6. Add the seasonings: 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper, 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard, 1/8 teaspoon turmeric. Stir.
• 7. When the pasta is done, drain it well. Return the pasta to the hot pot.
• 8. Add the one tablespoon of oil to the hot drained pasta and one teaspoon of salt. Toss until the pasta is covered with the oil.
• 9. Pour the hot cheese sauce over the hot pasta, and gently combine it. Some people like all of the sauce. Until you find out what you like, add the sauce slowly and taste as you go. I pull back just a little and reserve about a half cup or more of the sauce to use over steamed vegetables later.
• 10. Serve the pasta in a pretty dish.
• 11. Add some parsley for garnish, if you wish.
• 12. Here's a closeup.
• 13. Sometimes, I like a topping. You can take 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and mix it well with your fingers, then sprinkle the mixture on top of the cheese dish and broil under the broiler until it is brown, just takes a few minutes.

Steps:

BONNIE'S MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• 1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. I recommend small shell pasta because cheese gets inside the shells and tastes good. When the pasta is just tender, drain. Don't overcook.
• 2. Melt butter in the pan. Add the onion and saute until tender. Reserve a couple teaspoons of the butter from the pan for the crumb topping. Add the milk to the butter, then add cornstarch, nutmeg, salt and pepper and whisk until smooth. Add the cheese soup. Whisk again. Remove from heat.
• 3. Pour the hot cooked and drained pasta shells into a greased glass baking dish and add the grated sharp cheddar cheese. Stir.
• 4. Then pour the hot pan mixture over the shells and gently mix until combined.
• 5. Make the topping: Put the 4 tablespoons bread crumbs in a small bowl and add the reserved 2 teaspoons of butter and mix well. Sprinkle over the macaroni and cheese and bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until the topping is brown.
