Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups Borden® Triple Cheddar Natural Shreds
1 cup Borden® Colby Jack Natural Shreds
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons Borden® Butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ cup Borden® Vitamin D Milk
1 cup Borden® Half & Half
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside of a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Combine Cheddar and Colby Jack cheeses in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Cook macaroni in boiling salted water according to package directions; drain well and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Blend in flour, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in milk and half & half. Stir constantly, until mixture boils and thickens (about 2 to 3 minutes). Remove from heat and add cayenne and black peppers, and 2 cups of the reserved cheese mixture; stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
  • Stir cooked macaroni into the sauce and season to taste. Place in the prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and dot with additional butter, if desired. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mac and cheese turned out dry and crumbly. Maybe I didn't use enough milk?

I'm not a huge fan of macaroni and cheese, but this recipe is really good. The cheese sauce is creamy and flavorful, and the breadcrumb topping adds a nice texture.

The breadcrumb topping on this mac and cheese is what really makes it special. It adds a nice crunch and a golden brown color.
