SOUTHERN MACARONI AND CHEESE



Southern Macaroni and Cheese image

There is macaroni and cheese, and then there is special occasion macaroni and cheese like this one. Unlike most recipes, which start with a roux, this one begins with a milk-and-egg base, which gives the dish an incredibly rich, silky taste. It's adapted from Millie Peartree, the owner of Millie Peartree Fish Fry & Soul Food restaurant in the Bronx, who has been making this dish since she was a little girl. The recipe was passed down in her family for generations, but because of the generous amount of cheese used, the dish was only made for events like Christmas and Thanksgiving. Extra-sharp Cheddar adds tartness and a layer of Colby Jack creates a gooey, molten center. If you can't find a Colby Jack blend, shredded mozzarella or a Mexican-style blend will work in its place.

Time 45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound elbow macaroni
2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs
4 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar (about 16 ounces)
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
2 cups shredded Colby Jack (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook according to package directions until a little under al dente, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk milk and eggs. Add cooked macaroni, 2 cups extra-sharp Cheddar, melted butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and stir until well combined.
  • Add half the macaroni mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish in an even layer. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups Colby Jack evenly on top. Spread the remaining macaroni mixture on top in an even layer. Cover with aluminum foil, transfer to the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Carefully remove and discard the aluminum foil. Top the macaroni mixture with the remaining 2 cups Cheddar and 1/2 cup Colby Jack. Broil on top rack until cheese is browned in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. (The broiled cheese can go from golden to burnt fairly quickly, so keep a close eye on it.)
  • Remove from oven and let cool until the macaroni and cheese is fully set, 10 to 15 minutes. (The mixture may first appear jiggly, but it will firm up as it cools.) Serve warm.

DELILAH WINDER'S SEVEN-CHEESE MAC AND CHEESE



Delilah Winder's Seven-Cheese Mac and Cheese image

Yield serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

Unsalted butter, for the baking dish
1 pound elbow macaroni
6 large eggs, at room temperature
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup (4 ounces) cubed Velveeta cheese
3 cups half-and-half, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups (10 ounces) grated sharp yellow cheddar cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) grated extra-sharp white cheddar cheese
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Asiago cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Gruyère cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Muenster cheese
Pinch of kosher salt, or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly butter a 4-quart rectangular baking dish.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until slightly al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain and set aside to keep warm.
  • Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Add the butter, Velveeta, and 1 cup of the half-and-half. Add the warm macaroni and toss until the Velveeta has melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the remaining 2 cups half-and-half, 1 1/2 cups of the yellow cheddar, the remaining cheeses, the salt, and the pepper. Toss until completely combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, and bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup yellow cheddar and bake until golden brown on top, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your mac and cheese a more complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, Gruyère, and fontina.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente. This means that it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of flour and butter that helps to thicken the cheese sauce.
  • Season the cheese sauce to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
  • Add mix-ins. Some popular mix-ins for mac and cheese include bacon, ham, vegetables, and bread crumbs.
  • Bake the mac and cheese until it's bubbly and golden brown. This will help to create a crispy crust.

Conclusion:

Mac and cheese is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a mac and cheese recipe that everyone will love. Whether you like your mac and cheese simple or loaded with mix-ins, there's a recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give mac and cheese a try.
