Double Cheese Macaroni & Cheese image

The recipe is from "Mary Masters, My Great Recipes" cards I used to get in the mail every couple of months. I made it for my (then) future husband and it's the best baked macaroni and cheese either of us have ever tried. Our 2 sons loved it too! You can use other varieties of macaroni or cheese for a change of pace.

Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

- Always use freshly grated cheese for the best flavor and texture. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.

- Use a good quality pasta. The best pasta for macaroni and cheese is a short, sturdy pasta that will hold its shape well, such as elbow macaroni or penne.

- Cook the pasta al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.

- Make sure to use a roux to thicken the cheese sauce. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is cooked together until it is smooth and bubbly. This will help the cheese sauce thicken and become smooth and creamy.

- Use a variety of cheeses to create a complex and flavorful cheese sauce. A good combination of cheeses for macaroni and cheese is cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.

- Season the cheese sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika or cayenne pepper, to taste.

Conclusion:

Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that is loved by people of all ages. It is a simple dish to make, but there are a few tips that you can follow to make sure that your macaroni and cheese turns out perfectly every time. With a little practice, you will be able to make a macaroni and cheese that is cheesy, creamy, and delicious.
