Best 7 Macaroni And Cheese With Garlic Bread Cubes Recipes

MAC AND CHEESE GARLIC BREAD BOWL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Cut off the top of the boule and reserve. Using a small, sharp knife, cut around the inside of the bread (being careful not to cut through the sides) and scoop out the center. Tear 1 loosely packed cup of the bread's innards into 1-inch pieces, then discard or set aside the rest for another use.
• In a small bowl, mix together 6 tablespoons softened butter, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon parsley, the red pepper flakes, if using, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
• Arrange the bread bowl, top of the boule, and the torn bread on a baking sheet. Spread the compound butter over the inside of the top of the boule and all over the inside of the bread bowl.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the bread bowl is golden brown around the edges and the torn bread is dry and beginning to brown.
• Transfer the torn, toasted bread to a food processor and process into coarse crumbs. You should have about ½ cup of bread crumbs.
• In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the bread crumbs and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes.
• Transfer the toasted bread crumbs to a medium bowl and add 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon parsley, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine.
• Wipe out the pot, then return to the stove over medium heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. When the butter is melted and bubbling, add the remaining 3 cloves garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
• Add the heavy cream and cook until simmering and reduced slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, 4-5 minutes. Add the remaining ½ cup Parmesan and the mozzarella cheese and stir until the cheese is fully melted and creamy and the sauce has thickened, 5-6 minutes. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt and the pepper.
• Fold in the cooked elbow macaroni until well coated.
• Set the bread bowl on a clean baking sheet. Transfer the macaroni to the bread bowl and top with the bread crumbs.
• Bake for 5 minutes, until warmed through and set.
• Top with the remaining tablespoon of parsley and serve immediately with the toasted top of the boule.
• Enjoy!

MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH GARLIC BREAD CRUMBS, PLAIN AND CHIPOTLE

Steps:

• Make bread crumbs:
• Heat butter and oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook garlic and bread crumbs, stirring, until crumbs are golden. Transfer to paper towels to drain and season with salt.
• Make macaroni:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Chop chipotles.
• Melt butter in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan over moderate heat, then add flour and cook, whisking, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, cream, and mustard and simmer, whisking occasionally, 3 minutes.
• Cook macaroni in a 6- to 7-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender. Drain in a colander and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in white sauce, cheese, and salt to taste.
• Fill a 1 1/2-quart shallow casserole with half of macaroni mixture. Stir chipotles into remaining macaroni. Spoon into another 1 1/2-quart shallow casserole and sprinkle both with bread crumbs. Bake casseroles in middle of oven 30 minutes, or until bubbly.

CLASSIC BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until it's barely al dente. (It should be more al dente than your average pasta: It's going to continue to cook in the oven.) Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium pot over medium heat. (The pot should be large enough to hold all the pasta when cooked.) Whisk in flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the flour is foamy and just starting to turn a light golden brown, about 4 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk to avoid clumping. Add garlic, paprika and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly and paying special attention to the edges of the pot to make sure the flour mixture is totally incorporated.
• Add grated cheese and whisk to blend until the cheese is completely melted. (The sauce will seem thick at first and thin out as the cheese melts; it will thicken while it bakes.) Season with salt and pepper and add cooked pasta, stirring to coat well.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil (to catch any cheesy drips).
• Make the optional topping: Combine bread crumbs, melted butter and Parmesan, if using, in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and, using your hands, mix well to ensure the bread crumbs are evenly coated.
• Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture to a 3-quart or 9 x 13 baking dish and scatter bread crumbs, if using, evenly over the top. Place on prepared baking sheet and bake until macaroni and cheese is bubbling, thickened and creamy, and bread crumbs are evenly golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
