My problem with Mac and Cheese is it's never cheesy enough. This one even impresses my younger daughter, who is a Kraft Mac and Cheese fan. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
1 onion, chopped |
1 cup diced cooked ham |
1/3 cup flour |
3 cups milk |
1 teaspoon dry mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/16 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
2 1/2 cups shredded old cheddar cheese |
3 cups uncooked macaroni |
1/2 cup breadcrumbs |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; saute onion and ham until onion is soft.
2. Add flour and cook, stirring until well mixed.
3. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly, until mixture starts to thicken.
4. Add mustard, salt, pepper and cayenne.
5. Stir in cheddar cheese until just melted.
6. While making sauce, cook macaroni in a separate pot, until tender but firm.
7. Drain and put back into pot.
8. Combine with sauce, then pour into a 2 litre baking dish or casserole dish.
9. In a small bowl combine parmesan and bread crumbs.
10. Sprinkle over macaroni mixture.
11. Broil for about 3 minutes, until brown.
