This is by far the creamiest, tastiest and most special macaroni and cheese I have ever tried. I'm not usually a fan of homemade macaroni and cheese, but when a friend served this, I had to have the recipe. Since it's so little fuss and well received, it's a terrific potluck dish. Ingredients:
1 (7 ounce) package elbow macaroni |
6 tablespoons butter or 6 tablespoons margarine, divided |
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 cups milk |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed |
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese |
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat; add cheeses, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
3. Drain macaroni; add to the cheese sauce and stir to coat.
4. Transfer to a greased shallow 3-qt. baking dish.
5. Melt the remaining butter; toss with bread crumbs and parsley. Sprinkle over macaroni.
6. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
