Besides being a really easy recipe to make, it tastes very good, too! This is not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill macaroni and cheese. The herbs and spices, along with the sour cream, give the dish a wonderful flavor. Serving it with toasted pita bread and salad makes this one of our family's favorite meals, and it's been in the family for a very long time! Ingredients:
1 package (7 ounces) uncooked elbow macaroni |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
salt and pepper to taste |
1 cup milk |
1/4 cup sour cream |
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
1/2 cup cubed havarti or muenster cheese |
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons italian-style seasoned bread crumbs |
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain. Place in a 1-1/2-qt. casserole and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and seasonings; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove pan from heat; add the sour cream, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and Havarti cheese. Stir until melted.
3. Pour sauce over macaroni; toss to coat. Combine the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs and remaining cheddar cheese; sprinkle over casserole. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 6 servings.
