Shannon's Smoky Macaroni and Cheese image

This recipe is the best Mac & Cheese you'll ever have. It is literally one of 3 meals everyone in my family will eat. The smoked gouda gives this dish its smoky rich flavor. It's a gourmet grown-up version of the kiddie classic. Take any leftovers and cut into bite-sized squares, bread, and deep fry for a yummy snack.

Time 1h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
6 tablespoons butter
½ cup all-purpose flour
5 ½ cups milk, divided
2 ½ cups shredded smoked Gouda cheese
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Fill a pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a boil. Stir the macaroni into the water and return to a boil. Cook and occasionally stir until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continually for 1 to 2 minutes to make a roux. Whisk 2 cups of the milk into the roux until smooth and then add the remaining milk. Raise the heat to medium-high and continue cooking and stirring until thickened, but not boiling. Stir the Gouda, Cheddar, Swiss, and 1 cup Parmesan cheese into the mixture; once the cheeses have melted completely, fold the drained macaroni into the mixture to coat. Pour the macaroni mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Stir 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl; sprinkle over the macaroni. Drizzle the olive oil over the bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Allow to rest 10 minutes before cutting.
