MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH GARLIC BREADCRUMBS, PLAIN AND CHIPOTLE



Macaroni and Cheese With Garlic Breadcrumbs, Plain and Chipotle image

I make this mac and cheese for large gatherings because it can be made 2 days in advance. Everyone loves it. I usually make half plain for the kids, and half with chipotles for the adults. Any tubular pasta will work and I often 'clean out the fridge' and add any other cheeses that I may have on hand.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated cheese: Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make your macaroni and cheese grainy. Freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly and gives you a creamier sauce.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni: Macaroni should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked macaroni will become mushy and lose its shape.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the cheese sauce. A roux will prevent your cheese sauce from being too thin and runny.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of cheeses. A combination of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese will give you a rich and flavorful cheese sauce.
  • Add some spice: Chipotle peppers add a smoky and spicy flavor to this macaroni and cheese. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the chipotle peppers or use a milder variety.
  • Top with bread crumbs: A topping of bread crumbs adds a crispy texture to the macaroni and cheese. You can use panko bread crumbs or regular bread crumbs.

Conclusion:

This chipotle macaroni and cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
