How to make mac and cheese easy creamy macaroni and cheese recipe
Hello and welcome back to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your Host Matt Taylor, today I
am going to show you how to make an amazing mac and cheese, yummy.
This macaroni and cheese recipe is super creamy super delicious, really easy to do, if I can
do it, you can do it, let's get started.
First go ahead and preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. and put the rack on the upper middle
rack.
And now also, down below in the description, you are going to find all the ingredients,
for this recipe as far as the measurements and what not, so we take our blender here
and we are going to add our cottage cheese this is one cup of cottage cheese, go ahead
and add that in there, scrape it out, make sure to get all of it in there, and then we
are going to add our milk I am using, whole milk, 2 cups, 16 ounces, add mustard powder,
add our pepper, our nutmeg, and add our salt.
All right and let's just go ahead and blend this all together, for about thirty seconds
we just want to make sure, the cottage cheese is well blended with our milk and other spices.
Now we come over to pan, you want a 9 inch round or square pan, um or you can use a 10
inch, I am using this pan which can go in the oven, which I really love this pan.
Now go ahead and take one of your tablespoons of butter, and we are going to just put it
in there, and then with our fingers, just go ahead and butter this thing really nice,
really cool and then you can just leave the leftover pieces of butter in there like that.
And now what we want to do is we want to add about half of our cheese, now you could do
all this in a big bowl first and mix it around, but it is find just to do it like this, and
then add our macaroni, now I am using the bigger macaroni, you can use the small one
if you like, I like to use the big ones.
Now go ahead and take our milk mixture, and then the rest of our cheese.
And we want to take this, we just want to combine it all, really well.
Like I said you can do all of this in a larger bowl, if you like.
Ok and then you just push it down, and that is read to go.
And now what we want to do is we want to cover this, very tightly with some foil, isn't this
awesome we don't have to precook our macaroni, it is going to cook while inside the liquid,
and the cheese, and it is going to be awesome, so it is really nice that you don't have to
precook your pasta.
Go ahead and cover this really well, with foil.
And then now let's pop this in the oven for 30 minutes, and then after that we have more
steps to do, all right after 30 minutes let's go ahead and take our pan out of the oven,
we are going to take off our foil, and then we are going to come in here and stir, gently,
oh yeah this is looking amazing, and then now what we are going to do is we are going
to take our remaining tablespoon of butter, and we are just going to put it on top like
so, and then we are going to take our fourth cup of cheese and put it on top.
And now we are going to put this back in the oven uncovered for another 25 to 30 minutes,
and it is going to get nice and brown on top.
All right once we take it out of the oven it is going to look like this, golden brown
on the top.
Oh yeah, and now to top this off, I am going to come in here with some bacon bits, go ahead
and let this rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
The mac and cheese has been sitting for about 15 minutes, time to serve me up some, I am
going to show you what it looks like oh yeah, look at that yummy.
All right our Mac and Cheese is done, it turned out awesome, it is really easy to do, simple
ingredients, if I can do it, you can do it, I am Matt Taylor this has been another episode
