Cowboy Macaroni Recipes

WESTERN MAC

Western Mac image

I found this recipe off of a box of Western Family Macaroni & Cheese. It sounded so good that I had to make it, and when I did, my family loved it. This is also the type of recipe that kids will love and ask for over and over. Personally, I like the ease of how it comes together and also any leftovers the next night are great....

WESTERN MACARONI AND CHEESE DINNER

Western Macaroni and Cheese Dinner image

Can't remember if I got this off the Mac 'N Cheese box or where. It's a great way to change up plain old mac 'N cheese. Comfort food! If you have leftover fresh broccoli stems, chop them up and drop them in the boiling water with the noodles. I adjusted the recipe a bit.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a single layer place cornbread crisps on a baking sheet and sprinkle with shredded parmesan and chopped basil. Bake for approximately 7-9 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven to cool.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of butter and once melted, add the diced onion and stir to coat in the butter. Continue to cook the onions for approximately 5-6 minutes, or until they just start to soften, stirring frequently. Add the minced garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the garlic with the onions for approximately 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the sliced mushrooms and pancetta to the onions and mix well. Allow mixture to cook together for approximately 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter until it just starts to sizzle. Slowly whisk in the the flour (do not stop whisking!) to create a roux (it will resemble a paste). Cook the roux for approximately 2 minutes, or until it is a light golden brown (take care not to burn!). Whisk in the cayenne and cook for an additional minute before slowly whisking in 1 cup of cold milk until fully incorporated with the roux. Whisk in the remaining three cups of milk and add the lemon zest, salt and pepper.
In a pot or bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients, combine the pasta with the béchamel, mushroom and pancetta mixture, corn, basil and feta.
