mac and cheese with evaporated milk roux

Use other great melting cheeses to mix things up or based on preference! Some of our other favorites are: sharp cheddar cheese, fontina, gruyere, gouda, provolone, manchego, asiago, and havarti. We use a blend of white cheddar and Oaxaca cheeses because they’re both great melting cheeses with a nice flavor that isn’t too strong or overwhelming.This is an amazing side dish, but also could be served as a meal with pulled chicken or pork over top with BBQ sauce.

This will be VERY thin, and you will most likely be questioning if it will thicken up. Pour the mac and cheese carefully into a 10 inch cast iron skillet or a 9×13 casserole dish. Once it’s all melted together add the cooked pasta and stir until it’s combined. Stir the cheese sauce a few times until it is all melted together, which will take about 6 to 8 minutes total. I like the gouda and colby jack together, but if you wanted it to be more, ummmmm…gouda-y just replace the colby jack with more gouda. Then add the milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese, gouda, colby jack, butter, kosher salt, dry mustard, and pepper.

Once the pasta is done cooking, drain it and rinse with cold water to prevent the pasta from getting mushy while making the sauce.Īfter draining the pasta, return the same pot that you made the pasta in to the stove and set it over medium heat. You could use macaroni, shells, penne, or this time around I am using cavatappi.

This decadent dish starts with boiling a pound of short cut pasta according to the package directions. Typically you need to start mac and cheese with a mixture of butter and flour to thicken the sauce.īut with this magical list of ingredients, all you do is combine everything and it thickens as it bakes.
