Spicy Mac And Cheese Casserole Recipes

SPICY MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
• Cook pasta in very salty water until it's a few minutes less than al dente. (The pasta will continue to cook in the oven, so undercooking it during the boiling phase helps it hold up once baked!) Drain and set aside.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a roux and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Whisk the milk into the roux a little at a time, making sure to work out all the clumps so you have a smooth sauce. Cook over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until milk has thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk mustard powder, cayenne, paprika, salt, and black pepper into sauce.
• Turn off the heat. Add most of the cheddar cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for topping the mac later) and stir until melted.
• Stir cooked pasta into sauce.
• Pour pasta into an oven-safe baking dish (we used a cast iron skillet). Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake at 350° F for 15-25 minutes, or until cheese has melted and edges are crispy.
• Top with fresh chopped parsley and another pinch of spices (optional) and serve immediately.

• Meanwhile, place the sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and add enough warm water to cover. Let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain well, then chop into 1/4-inch pieces and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Add the green onions and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour, cayenne, basil and salt. Add the milk and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened and bubbly. Add 3/4 cup of the Cheddar, then all of the Gruyere, and Gouda, a little at a time, stirring well after each addition, until the cheeses are melted. Stir in the macaroni-broccoli mixture and the softened sun-dried tomatoes. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish and sprinkle the top of the casserole with the remaining 3/4 cup Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through, about 25 minutes.
