Macaroni and Cheese
RECIPE COURTESY OF REE DRUMMOND
Level: Easy
Total: 55 min
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 40 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
4 cups dried macaroni
1 whole egg
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 heaping teaspoons dry mustard (more if desired)
1 pound sharp Cheddar, grated (not pre-grated cheese), plus more for baking
Salt
Seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Optional spices: cayenne pepper, paprika, thyme
Macaroni and Cheese and Sliders Bar:
1 pound thick-cut peppered bacon
3 yellow onions, halved and sliced
3 tablespoons butter
8 ounces gorgonzola
Cooked sliders and/or macaroni and cheese, for serving
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cook the macaroni until still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, beat the egg. In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Whisk together over medium-low heat. Cook for a couple of minutes, whisking constantly. Don't let it burn. Pour in the milk, add the mustard and whisk until smooth. Cook until very thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.
Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Whisk together until smooth. Pour the egg into the sauce, whisking constantly. Stir until smooth. Add in the cheese and stir to melt. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and the pepper. Add any additional spices if desired. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed! DO NOT UNDERSALT.
Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Serve immediately (while it's still very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese and bake until bubbly and golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
Macaroni and Cheese and Sliders Bar:
Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until slightly crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and cut into bite-size pieces.
In a separate pan, cook the onions in the butter over a low heat until caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use a fork to crumble the gorgonzola.
Put the bacon, caramelized onions and crumbled gorgonzola into separate bowls. Serve as delicious toppings for both sliders and macaroni cheese.

Ellen’s Macaroni and Cheese Recipes Playlist:
Ellen’s Thanksgiving Recipes Playlist:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 1/2 cups hot evaporated milk
1 (8 oz) package sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 ounce (half of 8 ounce) carton cream cheese spread or half of 8 ounce block cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon white or black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 (8 ounce) package colby jack cheese, shredded
1 (8 ounce) package fresh or regular mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 (16 ounce, 1 pound) bag elbow macaroni
Panko Breadcrumb Topping
1/2 cup original or Italian panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and white or black pepper, to taste
Chopped cooked bacon, for the top (optional)
Ellen’s Magic: If using Italian Breadcrumbs, you can omit the Italian seasoning and salt and pepper. If the fresh Mozzarella is too watery, cover it with paper towels and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight to absorb the water.
Place the blocks of cheese into the freezer for 15 minutes, it will shred much better and the cheese won’t fall apart.
Preheat the Oven to 350 Degrees
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add evaporated milk and heat it through (do not boil). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil then add in the elbow macaroni. Cook the pasta according to the package directions (al dente) be careful not to overcook it. Drain (do not rinse the macaroni) and set it aside.
For the Cheese Sauce:
In the same pot over medium heat (no need to wash it), add the butter and let it melt. Once the butter has melted, add the flour, whisk, and cook for 2 minutes (whisk constantly to get rid of the lumps). Then slowly pour the hot evaporated milk into the flour mixture, whisk and cook until thickened. When it thickens, remove from the heat and add in cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, ground mustard, and smoked paprika and mix until well combined and the cheeses melts. Once the cheeses has melted, add in the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir until well combined.
Shred the colby jack and mozzarella cheese together, transfer both the cheeses into a medium bowl and set aside.
Add a layer of the macaroni and cheese at the bottom of the baking dish and spread evenly. Then add a heavy layer of the colby jack and the fresh mozzarella on top. Repeat the process then sprinkle the panko breadcrumb topping right on top (and bacon, if desired). Bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheese has melted and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!!!
For the Panko Breadcrumb Topping:
Melt the butter in the microwave or pan over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs, (Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, if using) into the melted butter; stir until well combined.

Southern Baked Macaroni & Cheese Casserole - I Heart Recipes
This creamy and delicious Southern Baked Macaroni & Cheese is the perfect comfort food side dish for any meal. It includes only two, easy-to-find cheeses, tastes amazing, and comes together so easily.
Want to know how to make this cream, delicious mac and cheese casserole? The process is pretty darn simple, y'all. Start off by cooking the pasta. I use elbow macaroni. To make the creamy, cheesy sauce, start with a roux (butter and flour), add half and half (important for EXTRA creaminess!), cheese, and seasonings. This cheese sauce is to DIE for, ya'll.
Next, assemble the mac and cheese casserole. Mix the cooked pasta and cheese sauce in a bake dish, top with extra shredded cheese (we're using tons of cheese in this recipe, y'all, be prepared!), panko bread crumbs, and she's ready to bake!
This southern mac and cheese casserole is so creamy and delicious, it's really the perfect side dish for pot lucks, family dinners, holidays, and so much more. Don't forget, you can get the entire recipe for my southern baked macaroni and cheese casserole on my blog, I Heart Recipes, right here:
