Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup melted butter
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 dash black pepper
2 cups shredded colby cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, separated
8 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
4 cups elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • In saucepan over low heat, mix flour and butter together until blended, making a roux. Cook about 3 minutes. Blend in chicken stock and milk. Continue to cook on low about 6 minutes. When sauce begins to thicken, add garlic, mustard, sea salt, pepper, colby and Parmesan cheeses, and add 3 cups of cheddar cheese (reserve 1 1/2 cups cheddar for topping). Cook about 5 more minutes on low. Set sauce aside while macaroni cooks.
  • In a pot over high heat, bring water to a boil, and add salt. After salt dissolves, add macaroni. Cook about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain macaroni noodles, and add them to the sauce.
  • Place mixture in buttered casserole dish, and top with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Bake at 375 F about 30 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

This macaroni and cheese was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would have preferred a more balanced flavor.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra cheese and spices to give it more flavor.
