Easy Macaroni and Cheese
For me a plain old Macaroni and Cheese is far too bland so I had to spice it up just a little. I haven’t changed the whole idea of Mac and cheese. Let’s just say I added my own little twist so it can suit my tastebuds. But it may not be for everyone, be warned. Actually I felt a little guilty eating this because it has so much cheese. It’s one of the reasons I don’t make it too often. You know when you get to a certain age you have to slow down with the all that’s not so good for your body. Wish we could remain young and carefree forever.
Ingredients Required
For this recipe you will need some elbow macaroni, butter, cake wheat flour or all purpose flour, milk, chilli powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs and some cheese. I would have loved some onion in this dish but my kids hate onion so I decided to leave it out.
How to make this Easy Macaroni and Cheese
My sauce looks a little weird, compared to the usual white sauce. The spices makes it look more red than white but don’t despair it still tastes amazing. Any sharp cheese will work for this dish, I used cheddar cheese. Topped it with some mozzarella, however you don’t have to. Everything was cooked on the stovetop, however I did pop it into the oven for 10 minutes. I used the grill function just to allow the cheese to melt a little. You can totally omit this step. In fact if you prefer it more saucy I would suggest you leave out the oven step altogether.
Please do not add the cheese whilst the sauce is still cooking. It will curdle. I have done this before and trust me it looked gross. It also does get a little thick in the oven and looks slightly curdled. So if you are really fussy about the look of your macaroni I suggest cooking it completely on the stovetop. I hope you get to try this recipe. If you do please drop me a comment and a star rating.
