Macaroni and cheese is hands down my favorite comfort food. I have several different recipes I like to make. I even love the cheapo boxed kind. This recipe is great because you can make it ahead of time and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake it. And you don't have to make a pan sauce, which makes it ultra convenient! It's very creamy and very well seasoned.
Ingredients: elbow pasta, sharp cheddar cheese, Colby cheese, Monterrey pepper jack cheese, flour, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, dry mustard, nutmeg, sour cream, egg, heavy cream, half and half and onion.
Start by cubing all of the cheese except 1/2 of the cheddar, which needs to be shredded and reserved.
Mix the flour and spices in a large bowl.
Then add the rest of the ingredients except the cheese and pasta. Use a fine cheese grater to grate the onion. You won't notice it in the dish because it will be super fine but it really brings out the flavors in the other ingredients.
Whisk it all together.
Cook the pasta until it is slightly underdone and add it to a baking dish with the cubed cheese.
Then pour the cream sauce over.
And top with the reserved shredded cheddar cheese. You can also top it with croutons, bread crumbs or sliced tomatoes. But I like mine cheesy, creamy and simple :)
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes until melted and bubbly.
