Homestyle Macaroni And Cheese

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Based on some if the reviews indicating blandness (and I was a little short on cheddar), used a couple cheeses including Muenster, farmers & Parmesan. I put in a little buffalo sauce & used Adobo in place of salt. Lastly, used homemade breadcrumbs mixed in with butter that I had first sauted with minced garlic. I also did not drain the pasta, rather ladled it out, reserving the pasta water. I thinned it out more as it was think & wouldve been dry as is after baking. It was creamy & flavorful with a nice crunch on top. Thanks for sharing!

    Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese, It’s not a lowfat casserole, but it’s so delicious you won’t care Add leftover ham for an even heartier meal , Based on some if the reviews indicating blandness (and I was a little short on cheddar), used a couple cheeses including Muenster, farmers & Parmesan I put in a little buffalo sauce & used Adobo in place of salt Lastly, used homemade breadcrumbs mixed in with butter that I had first sauted with minced garlic I also did not drain the pasta, rather ladled it out, reserving the pasta water I thinned it out more as it was think & wouldve been dry as is after baking It was creamy & flavorful with a nice crunch on top Thanks for sharing!, Very good basic recipe that is fool proof and can be tweaked many ways I like adding about 50 grams of smoked Gouda for a nice smoky Mac & cheese Also try adding bacon and jalapeo for a southern spicy twist
