Decadent Mac And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cream, half-and-half, and garlic salt. Add Gruyere cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Oaxaca cheese. Stir into cream until melted. Drain pasta and add to the sauce; stir to coat.
• Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray and pour in pasta mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

Stir in cheeses, and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and the sauce is a little thick. Put macaroni in large casserole dish, and pour sauce over macaroni. Stir well.
• Melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and brown. Spread over the macaroni and cheese to cover. Sprinkle with a little paprika.

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook, stirring occasionally until it is almost tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, 1/4 cup melted butter, the cayenne pepper, and a teaspoon of salt.
• Put half the macaroni into a buttered 2-quart casserole and top with half the cheddar cheese. Repeat. Pour the milk mixture over the macaroni and cheese.
• In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the paprika, the remaining butter, and the Parmesan. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the macaroni and bake until brown and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Combine cottage cheese, milk, mustard, cayenne, nutmeg and salt and pepper together in a bowl using a whisk. Reserve ¼ cup grated cheddar for topping. In a large bowl, combine the rest of the grated cheese, milk mixture and uncooked pasta. Pour into a buttered 9-inch baking pan, cover tightly with foil and bake 30 minutes.
• Uncover pan, sprinkle with remaining 1/4 C cheddar cheese and dot with butter. Bake 30 minutes more uncovered, til brown on top. Let cool ~ 15 minutes. Enjoy!
