I have been trying to find a really delicious, homeade mac and cheese recipe. I was watching "The Best Thing I Have Ever Made" on the Food Network and saw Sunny Anderson make her spicy mac and cheese. I have never watched something on The Food Network where I had to make it NOW. I went to the store and got all ingredients and it was made a few hours later. It's so easy and amazing. I can't stop eating it! I didn't do the croutons on top, but I'm sure those would be amazing to add as well!
You will need~
- 2 cups elbow pasta, cooked until almost al dente
- 16 ounces Cheddar cheese, 1/2 cubed, 1/2 shredded
- 8 ounces Monterey pepper jack cheese, cubed
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 4 slices bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
Cheese!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, toss together pasta with the cheese cubes and pour into the baking dish. In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, dry mustard, nutmeg and sour cream, egg, heavy cream and half-and-half. Pour over the pasta and cover with shredded Cheddar. Bake uncovered until top is just beginning to brown, about 35 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the bread into crouton-sized squares. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter, add cubes and toast until golden. Sprinkle the bread cubes on top of the macaroni and cheese and bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
Finished! First bite!
