DUTCH OVEN MACARONI AND CHEESE



Dutch Oven Macaroni and Cheese image

This Dutch oven mac and cheese is a staple in my home. I sometimes add burger meat or bacon to it to liven it up but it's delicious enough on its own! Regularly served as the main course with just a veggie side, as it can be a bit heavy if you're a mac and cheese lover who can't resist seconds (like me).

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (12 ounce) package seashell pasta
4 tablespoons salted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded medium Cheddar cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon taco seasoning mix

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat an oven-safe Dutch oven over medium heat. Melt butter and flour in the hot pot, stirring, until blended; pour in milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to boil, stirring continuously, for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; continue to stir until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Slowly fold in cheeses until melted and smooth. It is okay to raise the heat if you have to, just remember to keep stirring while the heat is on. Fold in cooked pasta until it is coated with cheese.
  • Combine panko bread crumbs, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, onion powder, and taco seasoning in a bowl. Sprinkle macaroni mixture with just enough of the bread crumbs to coat most of the surface; you should still see some pasta underneath the bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler and continue to cook until crust is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Provided by FDADELKARIM

Categories     Dutch

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces elbow macaroni, uncooked
6 ounces diced ham, cooked
8 -12 ounces grated gouda cheese
1 cup heavy cream
breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F Boil the macaroni until al dente (around 6 minutes).
  • Meanwhile slowly heat the cream then add the cheese, stir until melted.
  • Spray a baking dish with cooking spray then dump in the macaroni & ham. Pour over the cheese sauce & stir until well blended.
  • Sprinkle on the breadcrumbs then drizzle on the butter. Bake for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use authentic Dutch macaroni: Dutch macaroni is a special type of pasta that is shorter and thicker than regular macaroni. It is important to use authentic Dutch macaroni for this recipe, as the shorter and thicker shape helps to create the desired texture.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni: The macaroni should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked macaroni will become mushy and lose its texture.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this recipe, so it is important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Gouda or Edam are both good choices.
  • Season the macaroni well: Be sure to season the macaroni well with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder, to taste.
  • Serve the macaroni immediately: Dutch macaroni is best served immediately after it is made. This will ensure that the cheese is still melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Dutch style macaroni is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a family favorite. Serve it with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.
