Enjoy.Ĭlassic Macaroni and Cheese by Cook’s Countryģ–4 slices hearty white sandwich bread, torn into large piecesĨ tablespoons unsalted butter, 4 tablespoons meltedĢ cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheeseġ 1/4 cups shredded American cheese, (about 5 ounces)ġ. Perhaps Cook’s Country was eating this as a main course and not a side? I cut it in half and had 6-8 servings from it. It also prevents any curdling that may happen with regular milk. The evaporated milk adds a thick richness to this even though you can use fat free. Somehow it works and you just taste the creamiest macaroni and cheese you have ever had. If you look at the recipe and see the hot sauce and nutmeg and think, hell no, do reconsider.
Personally, I don’t want the bread crumb topping on my macaroni and cheese so if you want to leave it off, feel free. The hardest part is grating all the cheese and making a roux. If you have never made anything besides the stuff in a box, TRY THIS ONE. If you have ever liked macaroni and cheese and have ever thought about trying a new recipe for it, this is the one to try. I don’t know what I can say to adequately describe to you the true creaminess and deliciousness that this recipe has. It is unbelievably creamy, freezes well, tastes amazing as leftovers and doesn’t cost nearly as much as my previous attempt at macaroni and cheese. I am going to go out on a limb and say that it is the absolute best macaroni and cheese recipe I have ever had.
The name macaroni and cheese does not do this recipe justice.
