macaroni and cheese recipe???

Austin Egger · June 2010

My wife's favorite food is mac and cheese. She would prefer to have mac and cheese with any kind of bar-b-q. I have been trying to find a good recipe for twice baked mac and cheese with possibly some bread crumbs and parmasean cheese...I want to make sure I can get some of the burnt goodness on the sides (my favorite part). Problem is, I haven't found a recipe like this especially since I would like to find something with some better ingredients (ideally) besides velveta or condensed cheese soup. Does anybody have a good one or can send me in a good direction? I appreciate it as always.

We just made one Sunday night and we used the recipe that was in the new BIG GREEN EGG cookbook, it has plenty of ingredients and was delicous, lots of cheese

Here is a link to Dave Hill's recipe he cooked at the recent Eggs by the Bay Eggfest. It must be good as he won one of the People's Choice Awards.

Mint Tulip has a good one. You should be able to find it this years Sunshine fest cookbook.

I've made this one from Giada 3 or 4 times. It is delicious. You can substitute Fontinella for Fontina if Fontina is hard to find in your area and bacon(I used homemade buckboard)for the ham. It's a great recipe as you can see from the ratings by reviewers and I completely concur.

Mornay sauce(bechamel w/cheese added), mixed with the macaroni(I like mini bowties)topped with bread crumbs. Baked.

My wife is really picky about mac-n-cheese. I spent about a year coming up with a really fancy recipe. And then found one that was better.

See:

http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/12/Sweetie-Pies-Macaroni-And-Che106742.shtml

and then there's a video:

Notice in the video, she adds sour cream, which makes a big difference.

You can substitute the Velveeta. The eggs in the recipe will help emulsify other cheeses, so they are almost as smooth as Velveeta. I like smoked gouda and havarti. You can even gild the lily, and put some butter mixed panko on top for a super crunchy topping.

Glenn, my heart stopped when I read that recipe! Literally, LOL! 2 1/2 lbs PLUS a cup of cheese and 2 sticks of butter! Where are my nitro tablets!!! :laugh:

For holidays only! Just saw another video about making it. Said the restaurant makes something like 30 trays a day, more on weekends.

Weekend Warrior · June 2010

hahaha Let's face it, most Mac-n-Cheese recipes aren't healthy(including the one I submitted) but some qualify as heart attacks in a casserole dish and that puppy is one of them! :laugh: and I didn't even mention the 3 eggs.

if you like the velveta mac and cheese or thats your wifes favorite it might be tough to find a recipe you like that doesnt have velveta, i tried and found i couldnt after a couple dozen different tries. you can upscale the velveta mac and cheese by adding other cheeses to the velveta, i also like some stewed tomatoes in with it. gdenby's recipe has velveta in it, i might try that one

This is the award winning James Beard Macaroni and Cheese. But, for myself I love any short pasta with Campbell's cheddar cheese soup. You can add lobster, vegs or chilis or anything to either of these ideas. Buttered crumbs or potato chips or crushed fritos on top.
