Robin Kourys Grilled Mac N Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Set up an outdoor grill for indirect cooking over medium heat. For charcoal, use coals on one side of the grill. For gas, shut off one side of the grill.
• Place an 8-quart cast iron Dutch oven over the hot side of the grill. Add bacon; cook and stir until it renders its fat, but doesn't crisp up, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onions and garlic; move the Dutch oven so only about half of the pot is over the heat. Cook and stir until onions start to become translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in milk and cook until hot, but not simmering. Melt in cream cheese.
• Stir in about a handful of Cheddar cheese at a time until 3 cups have been melted into the mixture. Move the Dutch oven to the cooler side of the grill. Stir in cooked macaroni. Crumble the cheese crackers over the top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
• Close the lid of the grill and let cook until bubbly and reduced, about 40 minutes, rotating the Dutch oven every 5 minutes or so to keep from burning. Remove from heat and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large pot, melt the butter with the oil over medium heat. Add in the red onion, garlic, and green chile and saute until tender, approximately 2 minutes. Sprinkle over the curry powder and all of the flour, stirring to create a roux. Whisk to remove the lumps, and cook the flour for approximately 1 minute.
• Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to create a curried creamy sauce over low heat.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer, and continue whisking for 2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, discard the green chile, and add 2 cups grated Provolone, and stir until smooth.
• Add the cooked macaroni to the curry sauce, mix until evenly coated, and season with salt. Transfer the macaroni mixture to a 9 by 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup bread crumbs and 1/4 cup cheese.
• Arrange the asparagus in a line over the macaroni. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs and cheese over the asparagus, and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Steps:

• Evenly spread the Easy Mac and Cheese in an 8-inch square baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Cut the mac and cheese into 4 equal-size squares.
• Preheat a griddle over medium-low heat. Place each mac and cheese square on a slice of bread, top with 1 slice American cheese and 2 slices bacon. Top with a second piece of bread and griddle the sandwich until golden and warm, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve.
• For the adults, toss the tomatoes in some hot sauce and add on top of the bacon before griddling your sandwich.
• Cook the macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water to al dente and drain.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and stir for a couple of minutes, making sure it's free of lumps and the flour taste is cooked out. Stir in the milk, bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the processed cheese and Cheddar until melted, add the hot sauce and fold in the macaroni. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Grate all the cheeses and keep separated. Zest 2/3 lemon into goat gouda. Add smoked paprika and salt and pepper and blend.
• Bring shrimp stock or water to a boil. Add strozzapreti and tubetti pastas. Bring water back to a boil and cook about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Peel fresh artichokes down to heart, removing choke. Boil artichokes to a soft-firm (about 20 minutes). Roast your artichoke hearts with lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, bay leaves and a splash of olive oil for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degrees F oven. Chop artichokes into 1 1/2-inch chunks and set aside.
• Rough chop and saute your pancetta in pan until just crispy on outside- do not overcook.
• For the sauce:
• Start by melting the butter. Then add a tablespoon all purpose flour and whisk together to create a roux. Add cream, then garlic granules, Spanish paprika, salt, red pepper flakes, cayenne, Italian seasoning and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Add your cheeses 1 at a time: first the melted Pata Cabra goat cheese, then your Humboldt fog and goat cheeses. Reserve 2 ounces of the Haystack for final garnish. Fold in egg whites. Blend until all cheese is melted. Add pancetta and artichokes. Now add your cooked pasta to mixture, making sure all the pasta is coated.
• You can cook for just a bit longer. Add salt, to taste, as needed. Place into small bowls and garnish with remaining goat cheese. Sprinkle sugar onto the cheese and brulee with a kitchen torch. Garnish with chives and serve.

Steps:

• Cook the Delia's Chicken Sausage on a very hot griddle until cooked through, about 10 minutes. On the same griddle cook the Mac 'n' Cheese until a cheesy crust forms, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place the sausage on the hoagie roll. Place the grilled Mac 'n' Cheese next to the sausage and top with the collard greens and a drizzle of the Comeback Sauce. Serve hot.
• In a large bowl mix together the paprika, salt, sugar, garlic, red pepper, white pepper, black pepper, sage, cayenne, savory and thyme. Sprinkle the spices over the chicken, making sure the spice mixture is evenly distributed throughout. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours.
• Prepare the meat grinder with the coarse die for a coarse grind. Grind the chicken and let it fall into a large bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• To make sausage links, add the chicken stock to the ground chicken and combine thoroughly. Use a sausage stuffer to stuff the meat into the casings. Place the links on a sheet tray and bake until the sausages are cooked through and the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
• To make ground sausage patties, portion out the chicken mixture to 2 1/2-inch disks. Heat a griddle or grill pan over high heat. Coat the pan with vegetable oil and cook the sausage patties until cooked all the way through, about 5 minutes on each side. Yield: 25 links
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, add the milk, half-and-half, sour cream and eggs, and mix together. Whisk in the flour, pepper and some salt. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the Cheddar and Parmesan. Add the pasta and gently stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake for 10 minutes more. Yield: 24 squares
• In a large saucepot set over medium heat, sweat the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ketchup, sugar, vinegar, mustard, chili powder, salt, Worcestershire and jelly. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer, stirring often until the sauce reduces by one-third, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water. Drain well.
• Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons butter in a heavy 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to let the flour brown. Using a whisk, add the milk in a steady stream and cook, whisking constantly, until thick and smooth, 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the salt, pepper, cayenne, and 2 cups of the cheese, and stir well. Add the noodles and stir well. Pour into the prepared dish.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese with the bread crumbs and Essence. Sprinkle evenly over the macaroni and bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend together the garlic, paprika, hot sauce, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Then add the mayonnaise, Cheddar and smoked Cheddar, and pulse until combined. Put the mixture in a bowl and fold in the cooked pasta and the roasted red bell pepper. Season with additional salt and pepper.
• To assemble the sandwich, heat a nonstick griddle to about 300 degrees F or medium-high. Butter the bread generously and spread about 1/4 cup of the mac n cheese mix on the non-buttered side of the bread. Then add the sliced tomato, bacon and mild Cheddar, and top with another slice of bread. Grill on both sides until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more sandwiches.
