Mac N Cheese Ala The Publick House Recipes

Steps:

• Make white sauce- melt butter, blend in flour and cook for 2 minutes.
• Beat in milk and cream.
• Allow mixture to come to boil and thicken.
• Stir in cheese, peppers, sugar, tomatoes and salt.
• Stir in macaroni.
• Pour into shallow buttered baking dish and bake 400 for 25-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the milk and cream together to a boil.
• Melt butter in saucepan.
• When melted, add all the flour, stirring constantly.
• Let cook for 4 to 5 minutes, continuing to stir.
• Remove from heat, and add warm milk and cream while whisking-- if sauce is too thick, add a touch more milk.
• Add cheese to white sauce and stir.
• (Save a bit of cheese for the topping.) Stir sauce into macaroni and place in a buttered casserole dish.
• Place in 350-degree oven until slightly brown and bubbly on top-- 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat water to a boil. Cook macaroni in rapidly boiling water until done. Drain and set aside.
• Melt margarine in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add flour and cook one minute, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Continue to stir and cook over medium heat approximately 10 minutes until thickened and bubbly. Boil for one minute and remove from heat.
• Add seasonings (Worcestershire sauce, mustard, Tabasco and pepper) and cheeses. Stir until cheeses melt. Combine cheese sauce and macaroni in a bowl; stir well. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a pot, heat 1/2 quart milk.
• Season the milk with salt to taste.
• In a separate pot, slowly melt 3 tbsp unsalted butter.
• Whisk 3 tbsp flour gradually into melted butter to form a paste. Don't add too much flour at once or flour will burn.
• Add hot roux to hot milk and whisk together.
• Add 1-2 tbsp butter.
• Gradually add in cheese.
• Add 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional).
• Gently fold in cooked pasta.
• Pour mixture into ramekins or casserole dish. Important: Before you put the dish in the oven, place on cookie sheet or other vessel to prevent "unbearable" mess in your oven from boil-over.
• Top with additional cheese if you like.
• Bake in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
• Broil briefly (keep an eye on it) for a brown and crispy top.
• *Note: The Béchamel Sauce (Cheese Sauce) will keep 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
