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.

MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH PORK, FIRE-ROASTED TOMATOES AND BROCCOLI



Macaroni and Cheese with Pork, Fire-Roasted Tomatoes and Broccoli image

Provided by Food Network

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 teaspoons granulated garlic
3 teaspoons dry mustard
Kosher salt
1 pork tenderloin, trimmed (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
2 cups 1-inch broccoli florets (about 8 ounces)
2 cups cherry tomatoes
Freshly ground black pepper
6 cups half-and-half
3/4 pound elbow macaroni (about 3 cups)
3 cups Sargento Chef Blends Shredded 4 State Cheddar (12 ounces)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat, leaving 1 burner off (for indirect heat to finish the tenderloin). Line part of the direct-heat side with foil. Combine the granulated garlic, mustard and 3 teaspoons salt in a small bowl, and rub all over the tenderloin. Generously oil the uncovered grill grates, and grill the tenderloin over direct heat (not on the foil), turning occasionally, until well marked, about 12 minutes. Move the tenderloin to the indirect heat, cover with the lid and cook, turning occasionally, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, about 14 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest a few minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch chunks. Meanwhile, toss the broccoli and tomatoes with the oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill on the foil, turning occasionally, until the tomatoes are charred and starting to burst, 6 to 10 minutes, and the broccoli is charred and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Cut the tomatoes in half. Bring the half-and-half and macaroni to a boil in a large pot over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue to cook, stirring, until the macaroni is tender and the half-and-half has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, and stir in the Cheddar, butter and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir until smooth, thick and creamy. Add the grilled pork and vegetables, stirring to incorporate. The mixture will thicken as it sits; adjust the consistency as needed with hot water before serving.

PRESSURE COOKER 5-MINUTE MACARONI & CHEESE WITH TOMATOES & PANKO HERB CRUST RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Pressure Cooker 5-Minute Macaroni & Cheese with Tomatoes & Panko Herb crust Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 13

TOPPING:
2 cups (8-ounces) elbow macaroni
2 cups water
Salt & pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk*
1 cup (4-ounces) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup (4-ounces) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 can petite drained diced tomatoes (optional)
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 cup panko crumbs
3 sprigs fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Mix macaroni, water and tomatoes (if using), salt, mustard and cayenne together in a pressure-cooker pot. Lock pressure-cooker lid in place and bring to high pressure over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to maintain high pressure. NOTE: I use an electric pressure cooker, so I just locked on the lid, set pressure to medium low and set the timer for 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Quick release pressure, then carefully remove lid, allowing steam to escape away from you. Stir in evaporated milk and simmer over medium-high heat until sauce has thickened and pasta is tender, 1 to 3 minutes. *You can use 2% evaporated milk, just cook the pasta longer until it thickens Turn off heat, stir in cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, a handful at a time, until the cheese has melted and sauce is smooth. PANKO TOPPING: In a small skillet, melt the butter and then add the panko and herbs. Gently combine with a fork. Add a layer of the topping on top of the mac 'n cheese and broil (on highest rack) for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.

PARMESAN TOPPED TOMATOES ON MACARONI & CHEESE



Parmesan Topped Tomatoes on Macaroni & Cheese image

I put a new twist to this old fashioned macaroni & cheese by topping it with fresh Tomato slices and adding Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese to kick the flavors up a knotch. It was really good, it was during a time that we had lots of fresh tomatoes in our garden and I was trying to find a new use for the tomatoes, and it worked out great the seasoning and melted cheese with the mac & cheese really did make a difference in the flavors. We all loved it.

-2 large tomatoes, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Butter a 9x13 in. baking dish. Combine the milk, garlic and bay lear in a small saucepan; cook gently over medium-low heat for 15 minutes to infuse the milk with flavor. Place a large pot of water over high heat, bring to a boil. Stir in the pasta, and cook until al dente; 8-10 mintues. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and dry mustard and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk the warm milk into the saucepan, discarding the bay leaf and the garlic. Cook, whisking frequently, until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. While the sauce cooks, preheat the broiler and combine the cheddar, gruyere and parmesan in a bowl; set aside. When the sauce has thickened, reduce the heat to low, whisk in the cayanne, nutmeg, and combined cheeses, RESERVING 1 CUP OF CHEESE FOR TOPPING. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir the drained pasta into the cheese sauce. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with tomatoes, then with the reserved cheese. Transfer to oven and broil until the cheese is brown and bubbly. Serve immediately.
