Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings (4 huge, 6 normal)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound elbow macaroni
Salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 package beef or pork hot dogs, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all- purpose flour
1/2 cup beer, 1/3 of a bottle - whatever you have on hand, chicken broth can be substituted
2 cups milk
Pepper
1 rounded tablespoon spicy mustard
2 rounded tablespoons ketchup
3 cups yellow sharp Cheddar, shredded, divided (Buy preshredded cheese. You will need 1 1/2 sacks of 10-ounce packages.)

Steps:

  • Boil a large pot of water for macaroni. Salt water and under cook macaroni, cook about 7 minutes until just under al dente in doneness.
  • Preheat broiler and set rack 12 inches from heat.
  • While pasta works, heat a large deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, then add hot dogs and brown on both sides, 4 minutes total. Remove the dogs with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Add another tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and the butter. When butter melts, cook onions 4 to 5 minutes, then add flour and cook another minute. Add beer and cook off completely, 1 minute. Whisk in milk and bring to a bubble, then season the sauce with salt and pepper and stir in the mustard and ketchup. Lower heat and add 2 cups of the cheese. Stir to melt, 1 minute. Adjust mustard, ketchup, and salt and pepper, to your taste.
  • Drain pasta well. Combine pasta and hot dogs with sauce and coat evenly then pour into large casserole and top with remaining cheese. Melt and brown cheese under broiler, 2 minutes. Serve.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h5m

Yield 8 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/3 cups hand-grated sharp Cheddar (see Cook's Note)
1 1/3 cups pre-grated mild Cheddar
Pancake Batter, recipe follows
2 cups cooked elbow macaroni
4 hot dogs, sliced into 1/4-inch circles, optional
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pancakes
3 scallions, thinly sliced
Habanero Maple Syrup, recipe follows
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 habanero pepper
4 cups Vermont maple syrup

Steps:

  • Blend together the hand-grated and pre-grated Cheddars in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat griddle to medium heat. Ladle 4 pancakes on the griddle at a time; do not overcrowd. Add 1/4 cup macaroni to each pancake, followed by 1/2 hot dog per pancake, if using, followed by 1/3 cup Cheddar per pancake. When you notice the edges bubbling vigorously, spray the entire pancake and griddle with nonstick spray, then flip the pancakes. Press down on the pancakes with a great deal of force (think panini style).
  • Cook until the cheese is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from the griddle, sprinkle with scallions and serve with warm Habanero Syrup. Repeat to make 4 more.
  • Mix flour, baking soda, salt, eggs and buttermilk in a bowl until just combined; your batter should look lightly lumpy but combined. Set aside for at least 2 hours.
  • Slice habanero in half and place in a saucepan with maple syrup. Bring up to a full boil and turn off right away to avoid boil-over. Let stand for 3 hours. Strain out pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your mac and cheese. Use a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic flavor, or experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyère, Parmesan, or Gouda.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente: Macaroni that is cooked too much will become mushy and lose its texture. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, but test it a few minutes before the recommended cooking time is up. It should be firm to the bite.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the cheese sauce. A roux will help to prevent the cheese sauce from becoming thin and watery.
  • Use milk or half-and-half: Milk or half-and-half will help to make the cheese sauce smooth and creamy. You can also use a combination of milk and cream for a richer flavor.
  • Season the cheese sauce: Don't forget to season the cheese sauce with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the mac and cheese is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include bacon, ham, chicken, vegetables, or breadcrumbs.

Conclusion:

Hot Diggity Dog Mac and Cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy and flavorful mac and cheese that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Hot Diggity Dog Mac and Cheese a try. You won't be disappointed!
