Gourmet Macaroni and Cheese

Thursday, January 26, 2012

My first recipe:

This is a family favorite that I'm sure will become one of yours as well. I don't normally use a recipe to make this so this is my estimation of what my recipe would look like!

Sauce:
2 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Flour
1 tbsp Chicken Bouillon powder
1/4 tsp Ground Pepper
2 cups Milk
2 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese, optional

454 g Macaroni noodles (or rotini)

Topping:
1 cup Bread Crumbs (or crackers)
1/2-1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese


Directions:

Melt butter in medium pot over medium heat. Add flour, bouillon, and pepper. Mix well to create a smooth paste. Whisk in milk and heat till slightly thickened. Stir in cheese until melted.

Meanwhile, add noodles to large pot of boiling water. Boil until al dente. Drain water and set aside.

Add sauce to pot of drained noodles and stir until thoroughly mixed. Pour into 9x13 glass baking dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and grated cheddar. Bake at 350F for about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbling.

Enjoy!
