Best 5 Baked Mac And Cheese With Broiled Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Cook elbow macaroni as per instructions. * I add some olive oil to prevent it from sticking, but that's optional. Drain macaroni through colander.
• Return to pot or casserole dish and add tomatoes.
• Mix tomatoes into macaroni.
• Heat oven to broil (500 degrees F) and top with shredded cheese.
• Bake macaroni and cheese with tomatoes on middle rack under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned (to your preference). * I put a cookie sheet underneath to prevent spills from dripping down. * Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
• Serve hot.

BAKED MAC AND CHEESE WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Add the pasta and cook 2 minutes less than the package directs. Drain and set aside.
• In a large oven-safe skillet (if you don't have a skillet that goes in the oven you can transfer your mac and cheese to a baking dish in a bit), melt the butter and add the flour.
• Stir until the flour cooks and the raw flour flavor is gone--about a minute or so.
• Add the milk, salt and pepper and cook over medium heat 5 minutes then add the tomatoes and stir to combine.
• Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens--another 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add the cheese and stir until it melts.
• Add the pasta and stir.
• If transferring to a baking dish, spray the dish with non-stick spray. If not, transfer your skillet to the oven and top with the bread crumbs if you are using them.
• Bake until golden and bubbly--about 35-40 minutes. Serve warm.

BAKED MAC AND CHEESE WITH BROILED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Slice tomatoes into thick rounds, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Broil until tomatoes start to brown, about 8 minutes; let cool slightly. Store, covered, in the refrigerator up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil pasta in a medium pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 2 minutes less than per package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
• Return empty pot to medium heat and add butter. When butter melts and foams, add flour and whisk until darkened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mustard powder and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add cheese in 3 batches, starting with American. Follow with 2 cups cheddar and 1 cup Parmesan. Whisk to fully combine after adding each cheese. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss pasta with cheese sauce and reserved pasta water. Transfer to an 8-inch baking dish.
• In a bowl, mix panko with melted butter and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1/4 cup cheddar. Top pasta with broiled tomatoes and panko mixture. Bake until bubbly, about 30 minutes.

TOMATO SOUP MAC AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-inch square (or 2-quart) baking dish with butter.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook the pasta until is al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directions, and drain.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foaming. Whisk in the flour, onion powder, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook for about 30 seconds.
• Whisk in the condensed tomato soup and milk and bring to a simmer, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, then stir in the Cheddar and American cheese with a wooden spoon. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
• Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce and pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish pan. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter with your hand, then sprinkle over the pasta.
• Bake until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
