Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups elbow macaroni
¼ cup butter, divided
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and mix with half of the butter.
  • While the macaroni is boiling, melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook until the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, and cook 5 minutes longer. Add the milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Cook and stir until the milk has thickened, about 10 minutes. Once thick and smooth, stir in the salt, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, mustard, 2 cups of Cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheeses have melted, then stir in the macaroni until evenly coated. Scrape into the prepared baking dish, and smooth the top. Toss the remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese with the dry bread crumbs in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the macaroni.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the macaroni is hot and the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16-ounce) package elbow macaroni
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 cup chopped white onion
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
1/2 to 1 cup chicken broth, as needed
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups shredded yellow Cheddar
Salt
White pepper
1/4 cup Cheddar crackers, crushed, with a few left whole for garnish (recommended: Pepperidge Farm Goldfish)

Steps:

  • Boil the pasta until al dente and drain well so that you don't have excess cooking water which will dilute the flavor. While the pasta is cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and add the onion, cooking until translucent. Add the flour a little at a time to make a roux. Do this gradually because some batches of flour absorb more than others and you may not need as much. Incorporate enough of the chicken broth a little at a time to form a smooth sauce. Simmer for a least 10 minutes to allow the flour to "cook out." Add the heavy cream and Cheddar, then season with salt and white pepper, to taste. Then fold in as much pasta as you need to acquire the right consistency for macaroni and cheese. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish and sprinkle with crushed crackers. Heat in oven for a few minutes to toast the crackers. Garnish with the reserved whole crackers and serve.
