Gourmet Four Cheese Macaroni and Cheese,When a recipe is SO good that it haunts your memory for over 40 years, you know it had to be good! As a young bride, I made this macaroni and cheese dish from a requested recipe from Bon Appetit magazine. Sadly, if I saved the recipe, it was lost along the years of moving. After the Internet, I searched, in vain, for this recipe for years, until I discovered 3/4’s of it in a women’s magazine. With the help of many Zaar members that helped me find the missing cheese that was needed, I now have the long lost recipe and the ability to make it again and again for an entire new generation of friends and family! This is NOT meant to be an everyday mac & cheese. It’s great comfort food when you want to celebrate something special: a good grade, a birthday, or an “I love you!” kinda day. Don’t skimp on the cheeses; they will be slightly costly. But, the end result is Oh So Good ! You will not be disappointed in the complex flavours of this simple dish, with a twist.,Can I make this ahead and let it sit ?,Can you substitute the milk for almond milk?

Please Note: This Is a Baked Macaroni and Cheese, Therefore, It Will not Turn Out With a Lot of Extra Cheesy Sauce Asis Absorbed Into the Pasta While Baking. If You Require an Extra Saucy Mac & Cheese, Just Reduce the Amount of Pasta You Place Into the Dish or Make More Sauce So It Is Creamier. Thanks So Much For Making This Dish; I Hope You Enjoy It! :). |
