IRISH MACARONI AND CHEESE image

Can the world stand one more mac and cheese recipe? I think so, yes. Especially this one that is made with THREE cheeses, and the finest butter and cheese money can buy. Yes, it may be a costly dish but aren't you and your family worth it? At least now and then? Splurge a little! Recipe & photo:...

Ingredients

1 lb pasta of your choice - penne, macaroni or ziti
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 c kerrygold dubliner cheese, shredded and divided
1 c bread crumbs
6 Tbsp kerrygold butter, divided
3-1/2 c milk
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 c kerrygold aged reduced fat cheddar, shredded
1/2 c kerrygold blarney castle cheese, shredded
1/4 c flat leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
2. Melt 3 Tbsp. Kerrygold butter. Add flour and whisk over medium heat.
3. Pour in milk slowly. Whisk well until incorporated and smooth. It will be thick at first. Add cayenne pepper, white pepper and sea salt.
4. Gradually add cheddar, Blarney Castle and 1/2 of the Dubliner cheeses, whisking until incorporated.
5. Add drained pasta into cheese sauce. Pour into large casserole dish.
6. Mix together 1/2 the Dubliner Cheese, breadcrumbs, 3 Tbsp. melted butter and parsley. Top the pasta mixture with this mixture.
7. Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
8. NOTE: Kerrygold dairy products can generally be found at WalMart stores, and I believe I have seen them at Kroger also.

I'm not a fan of Guinness, so I substituted it with beef broth. The macaroni and cheese still turned out delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroni and cheese turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked it better if it had more spices or herbs.
