MACARONI AND BEEF CASSEROLE



Macaroni and Beef Casserole image

This homey casserole was developed by Pierre Franey in 1991 for the 60-Minute Gourmet column. It is hearty sustenance that evokes memories of childhood and sweater weather. Its preparation is simple, but its flavors veer elegant. Sauté onions, celery, green peppers and garlic. Add the meat, then oregano, basil and tomatoes. Whisk together a quick Cheddar cheese bechamel that's seasoned with cayenne and nutmeg then pour it on top. At the last minute, sprinkle a little Parmesan on top and slide it under a broiler to brown. Serve with crisp green salad and a hunk of French bread. Comfort food at its finest.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a more complex flavor. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also add Parmesan, Gruyère, or Monterey Jack.
  • For a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of water.
  • Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce for a little extra flavor.
  • If you don't have macaroni noodles, you can use other short pasta shapes, such as penne or rotini.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Be sure to grease the baking dish before adding the macaroni and cheese mixture. This will help prevent the macaroni and cheese from sticking to the dish.
  • Bake the macaroni and cheese until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the macaroni and cheese cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help prevent the macaroni and cheese from falling apart.
