Provided by Goodfella

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Macaroni and Cheese Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 (28 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
6 tablespoons butter
¼ cup flour
1 quart half-and-half
2 cups chicken broth
4 cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 sleeve buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain, return macaroni to pot, and stir tomatoes into the macaroni. Cook over medium heat until the macaroni absorbs some of the liquid from the tomatoes, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir flour into melted butter and cook until bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly stream half-and-half and chicken broth into the butter mixture while stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to cook while stirring continually until thickened and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove saucepan from heat. Melt mild Cheddar cheese and sharp Cheddar cheese into the butter mixture one handful at a time, stirring to incorporate each addition before adding the next. Season the cheese mixture with pepper and pour over the macaroni; stir to coat pasta evenly. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with crushed crackers.
  • Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown and the liquid is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH STEWED TOMATOES



Baked Macaroni and Cheese with Stewed Tomatoes image

Boy, does this bring back memories! When I was in high school, they served this every Friday in the cafeteria. I guess they had to make sure we had our vegetables :) It sounds gross, but I couldn't wait until Fridays, the macaroni and tomatoes were so good together. To this day, almost 20 years later, whenever I have baked macaroni & cheese, I crave stewed tomatoes. With this recipe, I don't have to.

TOMATO SOUP MAC AND CHEESE



Tomato Soup Mac and Cheese image

This is the mac and cheese of my childhood with a few upgrades from how my mom made it. The tangy pop from the tomatoes lets the rich blend of cheeses really shine and the crunchy topping adds great texture. There's room in my world for a variety of mac and cheese styles and this one nears the top.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the baking dish

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:
