![]() ![]() Having said that, if you use white cheddar, totally legit. 'Tis blasphemous to remove cheddar cheese from this comforting dish. So my Oven Baked Macaroni and Cheese? It's orange friends. Welp, I'm a 28 year old child who plays in a kitchen all day. None of that cheddar business because orange = kids food. No Macaroni and Cheese is really complete without that final step: cover the top in flaky Panko and bake in an oven so ALL that cheesy goodness within can infuse together and the breadcrumbs can give you a perfect, golden crust to add that smidge of crunch.Īlso, I know that a lot of people prefer their macaroni and cheese to be completely white. Oven Baked Macaroni and Cheese says it all in the name. Secret ?: I'm one of those people that likes and shares memes about cheese that pop up on my Facebook feed ? Not surprised are you? Just in case someone (myself) didn't think it was cheesy enough. I not only make the cheese sauce from scratch with a 3:2 ratio, but I add 2 more cups of cheese to the macaroni pasta itself. It's time for rich, creamy, cheesycheesycheesy, Oven Baked Macaroni and Cheese! Thankfully, this cool weather means I get to use the oven again!!! And after that heat, I'm going to whip up some comfort food. As I write this, it's blustery Friday afternoon, the end of a physically trying week (dear tennis elbow and double tendonitis, fixyourselfkthanks), and the start of a weekend that includes lots of movies, rain, and of course, delicious food. AKA the reason I moved to the Pacific Northwest. Maybe it's due to a childhood in Florida with actual thunderstorms and crazy lightening every summer day at somewhere between 2 and 4 pm? I'm not sure why, but I need rain or gray sky at least once a week to feel normal. You know how normal people go outside on a bright, warm, sunny day and stand in the sunshine with their arms raised and go "ahhhhh what a nice day" like they're in heaven? Literally me right before a storm hits. For some odd reason, blustery weather grounds me. I'll admit, never comes out the same way twice.Well, after my massive rant about the heat a few days ago, it is now rainy, cloudy and dark outside.and I LOOOOOVE IT!!!? One of my favorite things to do during during the summer time, (scratch that, *anytime* of year) is sit out on my back porch and watch heavy storm clouds bursting with rain break over the Olympics and meander on over the Sound towards us. But now they beg for Dad's classic baked. Browning the top on broil is a good idea too, however don't walk away, this only takes a minute and should be watched closely. I even throw in a 3rd like some garlic spiced goat cheese, in moderation. Or one part gruyere or smoked gouda, to 3 parts sharp cheddar. Like one part swiss to 3 parts sharp cheddar. ( corkscrew noodles ) And, I agree with others here, this recipe needs a lot more cheese. ![]() Also to give a gourmet flare, I use cellentani pasta instead of elbow noodles. Stir continuously until it thickens, then add your desired spices and 1/2 the cheese. Then, slowly add the remaining 1-1/2 cups milk. Then slowly add this milk corn starch mixture to the heated melted butter on medium heat stirring continuously. Stir the corn starch into the 1/2 cup milk until thoroughly dissolved. Then in 1/2 cup milk, add 3 tbl spns corn starch. For easy and truly smooth and creamy mac n cheese, zero grainy, try starting with 3 tbl spns butter melted. You really don't need to perfect a roux or be a sous chef. Essentially, this is what the butter and flour is, and the reason people are getting grainy results. Not described here is instructions on how to make a good roux sauce. ![]()
