A crisp, buttery crumb topping and a touch of curry make this variation special. Ingredients:
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard |
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder |
2 1/4 cups whole milk |
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter |
2 1/4 cups (packed) grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 10 ounces) |
8 ounces small elbow macaroni, freshly cooked |
2 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from 8 ounces trimmed sourdough bread |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 8 x 8 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Combine cornstarch, 1 teaspoon dry mustard and 1 teaspoon curry powder in heavy large saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk over medium-high heat until sauce thickens and boils, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add cheese and whisk until smooth. Mix in macaroni. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared baking dish.
2. Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Mix in remaining 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard and 1/2 teaspoon curry powder. Add breadcrumbs and stir until crumbs are crisp and golden, about 8 minutes.
3. Sprinkle crumb mixture over macaroni and cheese. Bake until warmed through and bubbling at edges, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.
