MACARONI AND CHEESE WAFFLES RECIPE



Macaroni and Cheese Waffles Recipe image

Waffled macaroni and cheese might not rank quite as high on the list of "things you must try before you die" as, say, a fresh-from-the-water oyster, or a sliver of Parmesan sliced off of a wheel that has just been opened in front of your eyes, or skinny dipping in mixed company, but it's certainly good enough that it should immediately make your list of second-tier priorities. That is, of course, if you do it right.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound dried macaroni
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter, plus more for greasing baking sheet
1 tablespoon flour
1 cups whole milk
Dash hot sauce, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon mustard
1 1/4 pounds grated cheddar cheese
Maple syrup for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Place pasta in a large pot and cover with lukewarm water by 2 inches. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, and cook until pasta is tender, about 6 minutes after coming to a boil. Drain pasta.
  • While pasta cooks, heat butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until melted. Add flour and cook, stirring, until pale golden blond. Slowly whisk in whole milk. Whisk in hot sauce and mustard. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in 3/4 pounds grated cheese. Stir until melted. If smoother texture is desired, transfer to a blender and blend on high speed until glossy and smooth.

MAC AND CHEESE WAFFLES WITH BACON



Mac and Cheese Waffles with Bacon image

Who doesn't love a waffle, more importantly, a savory waffle? I created this recipe during some late-night thinking, as I do with most recipes that I make. I thought about two things that my wife loves: waffles and a little spicy mac and cheese, so I wondered, "Why not smash them together?" Happy wife, happy life, as they say. These waffles will satisfy at all hours of the day for your partner, friend, family member or even if you're on your own -- but a warning: You'll want to eat more than one!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
12 ounces sliced bacon, diced
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
3 cups shredded sharp yellow Cheddar (about 12 ounces)
2 cups shredded pepper jack (about 8 ounces)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 pound elbow pasta
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour bacon fat into a heatproof container (save for another use) and wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
  • Melt the butter in the large skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until tan in color, about 1 minute. Add the milk and bring up to a simmer, whisking every couple of minutes, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the three cheeses in batches, whisking after each addition, until melted. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions until al dente, then drain. Transfer to a large bowl, add 3/4 of the cheese sauce and 3/4 of the cooked bacon and stir to combine. Pour onto a rimmed baking sheet, spread it to the edges and refrigerate for 1 hour. Reserve the remaining cheese sauce for serving.
  • Preheat your waffle iron to medium high. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and add enough mac and cheese to cover most of the iron. Press down hard to squeeze the waffle iron shut (don't worry if some mac and cheese falls out). Cook until golden brown, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, reheat the reserved cheese sauce over low heat. Plate the waffle with a side of cheese sauce and garnish with some of the remaining bacon. Repeat with the remaining mac and cheese.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Good olive oil
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps sliced 1/2-inch
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, stems removed and caps sliced 1/2-inch
3 tablespoons cream sherry
Kosher salt
1 pound pasta, such as cavatappi
3 ounces white truffle butter (recommended: D'Artagnan)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart whole milk, scalded
12 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated (4 cups)
8 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, grated (2 1/2 to 3 cups)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
1 1/2 cups fresh white bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan, add the mushrooms, and cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are tender. Add the sherry and continue to saute for a few more minutes, until the sherry is absorbed. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add the pasta and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until al dente. Drain well.
  • Meanwhile, melt the truffle butter in a large (4-quart) saucepan and whisk in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk. Slowly whisk in the hot milk and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the white sauce is thickened and creamy. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, the pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Combine the pasta, sauce, and mushrooms in a large bowl and pour them into a 10 by 13 by 2-inch baking dish.
  • Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until they're minced. Add the bread crumbs and pulse to combine. Sprinkle the crumbs over the pasta and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the crumbs are golden brown. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cheese for the best flavor. A blend of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan is a classic choice.
  • Cook the macaroni until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when it is combined with the cheese sauce.
  • Make sure the cheese sauce is thick and creamy. If it is too thin, it will not hold its shape in the waffle cone.
  • Let the mac and cheese cool slightly before filling the waffle cones. This will help prevent the cones from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the mac and cheese waffle cones immediately, while they are still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Mac and cheese in a cheese waffle cone is a fun and delicious twist on a classic dish. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and unique dish that everyone will love.
