Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs macaroni noodles
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
4 cups half-and-half cream or 4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
2 cups colby-monterey jack cheese, fine shred
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (garnish)

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni according to the directions to al dente; do not overcook!
  • Heat a sauce pan over medium heat. Add the butter to the pan and melt. Then add the flour. Start to whisk and make a roux.Whisk until the butter mixture starts to boil and bubble. Cook for another minute until it starts to lightly brown.
  • Slowly whisk in the cream. Continue to whisk and cook until it starts to thicken up.
  • Add the salt, pepper, paprika and Monterey Jack cheese. Whisk until the cheese is melted. The sauce will still be a little "liquidy".
  • Pour about 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce into the bottom of a bowl. Then add about 1 cup of cooked noodles over the sauce.Top this with about 1/2 c of the shredded colby jack. Top with fresh parsley for color. Before you eat; mix it all together in your bowl into delicious perfection.
  • We keep the extra cheese sauce for quick leftovers over fresh noodles or vegetables.

Not my favorite. The cheese sauce was too bland and the noodles were mushy.

Pretty good! I made a few changes to the recipe, like using a different type of cheese and adding some vegetables.

This was a disaster! The cheese sauce was clumpy and the noodles were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad! The cheese sauce was a bit thick for my taste, but the noodles were cooked well and the overall flavor was good.
