MUENSTER & CHEDDAR MAC & CHEESE
I love Macaroni & Cheese; it's one of my favorite recipes! I'm always searching for and trying new recipes, but this is one I came up with on my own. Next time, I'll try adding a cup of bacon bits (would have used them here, but I didn't have any!). *For the cheese, I used solid 1-pound blocks from the local deli, cubed them up and shredded them up at home in the food processor, but you can use prepackaged cheese if you like.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat; add macaroni and cook until tender, about 10 minutes; drain and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, heat butter or margarine over medium-high heat until foaming; add flour, mustard and Worcestershire sauce; whisk well to combine; continue whisking until mixture becomes fragrant and deepens in color, about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in milk; bring mixture to a boil, whisking constantly (make sure it comes to a full boil, so it'll thicken); reduce heat to medium and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened to consistency of heavy cream, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat; whisk in two cups of each of the cheeses until fully melted; add pasta and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is steaming and heated through, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Transfer to a 9 X 13-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick spray; sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded Cheddar and 1 cup of Muenster cheese; top with cracker crumbs.
- Bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes, until a deep golden brown and bubbling.

Steps:
- Make dough:
- Blend together flour, butter, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps.
- Drizzle evenly with 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) ice water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) until incorporated.
- Squeeze a small handful: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until incorporated, then test again. (Do not overwork mixture, or pastry will be tough.)
- Turn out mixture onto a work surface and divide into 6 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute butter. Gather dough together with scraper and press into 2 balls, one slightly bigger than the other, then flatten into disks. Chill each disk, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
- Make filling and glaze while dough chills:
- Peel potato and cut into 1/4-inch dice (3/4 cup). Steam potato in a steamer set over boiling water, covered, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Cook onion in butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to plate to cool.
- Whisk together 2 eggs, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until combined well. Stir in potato, onion, and cheese.
- Whisk remaining egg in a small bowl and reserve for egg glaze.
- Assemble and bake pie:
- Put oven rack in middle position and put a large baking sheet on it, then preheat oven to 425°F.
- Roll out larger piece of dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin and fit into tart pan. Spoon filling evenly into pie shell and brush some of egg glaze on rim of shell.
- Roll out smaller piece of dough into a 12-inch round in same manner, then cover pie with it. Trim edges of pie, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then press edges together and crimp decoratively.
- Brush top of pie lightly with some of remaining egg glaze. Cut several steam vents in top crust with a small sharp knife.
- Bake pie on hot baking sheet until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack at least 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
