Jennifers Macaroni And Cheese Recipes

CREAMY MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook pasta with enough water to cover and 1 tablespoon salt, until just tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta and return to pot.
• While pasta is still hot, add butter and cream cheese, and stir until butter and cream cheese are melted.
• Add half-and-half to the pot and stir until warmed.
• Stir in the Velveeta cubes and stir until mostly melted.
• Stir in the cheddar cheese by small handfuls and stir until blended in. Continue adding the cheese in small amounts until all is incorporated.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to mix well.
• * Many times I serve this dish without baking because it's ready right out of the pot! If you prefer baked macaroni and cheese, spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

JENNIFER'S MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente and drain.
• Put macaroni into a buttered lasagna pan. A typical 9 x 13 pan is too small for this recipe.
• Mix the milks, eggs and dry seasonings together in a large bowl.
• Add the sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack and Velveeta cheese and butter to the milk mix.
• Pour over the noodles and mix well.
• Top with the mild cheddar.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until bubbly and slightly browning at the edges of the pan.

BEST EVER MACARONI CHEESE RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spread the baguette chunks over a baking sheet, drizzle with the melted butter and season. Bake for 6 mins until crisp, then set aside.
• Boil the pasta for 2 mins less than stated on the pack, then drain. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the garlic and English mustard powder, cook for 1 min, then stir in the plain flour.
• Cook for 1 min more, then gradually whisk in the milk until you have a lump-free sauce. Simmer for 5 mins, whisking all the time until thickened. Take off the heat, then stir in the cheddar and half the parmesan.
• Stir the pasta and some seasoning into the cheesy sauce. Tip into a large ovenproof dish, or four individual dishes.
• Scatter over the bread and the remaining parmesan, then bake for 20 mins until crisp and golden. Can be frozen before baking - defrost thoroughly before cooking.
