This is kind of decadent but it's really nice comfort food on a cold day. Ingredients:
3/4 lb wagon wheel macaroni |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 1/2 tablespoons flour |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
3 cups milk |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
3 cups grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese, divided |
1 cup breadcrumbs |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, rinse and set aside in a large bowl.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat and stir in flour and paprika. Cook and whisk paste for 3 minutes.
3. Stir in milk and salt and whisk until smooth. Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes and remove from heat.
4. Pour the milk-flour mixture, Worcestershire sauce and 2 cups of the cheddar cheese into the large bowl with reserved pasta. Mix well.
5. Grease a 2-quart shallow baking dish and transfer the pasta-cheese mixture to the casserole.
6. In a small bowl mix the remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese with the bread crumbs and sprinkle over the casserole.
7. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 30 minutes or until edges are golden-brown and sauce is bubbling. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
