  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Boil the macaroni until al dente, according to package directions (usually 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat up the milk - do not let it boil. Whisk in the dry mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and hot sauce. Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the butter and cheeses (except for the reserved) to the drained macaroni. Put the macaroni into the greased baking dish. Pour the hot milk mixture over the macaroni. Top with the reserved 1/2 cup of cheese. Sprinkle with paprika if desired.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, and then place under the broiler 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the top.

  1. This was absolutely delicious! My little girl thought it was the best ever. It was creamy and had such a nice flavor. I really loved the crunchy browned top! I think the mustard and worcestershire really added something special to the mix. I added just a little bit of garlic powder and a few twists of fresh ground pepper. I will be making this again and again. Thanks, Misa.
     
  2. This was very good. I just like mine a little creamier...it seemed a bit grainy. Who knows it might have been something I did.
     
  3. I never have to be asked to make mac and cheese It's one of my very favorite foods. I don't normally bake mine, though, I think it dries it out some. I always make extra sauce, as I did here, and to be fair to the cook, I did bake it. It turned out fabulous! I like to use white pepper in my mac and cheese. It's a totally different creature than black pepper.It lends a subtle but very welcome flavor to recipes that you wouldn't want to "speckle up"! Greaqt recipe Misa!
     
  4. I made this up in the morning, took my husband to therapy, and when I came home, popped it into the oven. Yum! It was so good, I ate more than I should have! Thanks! Made for Kitten's Recipe of the Day!
     
  5. Total *Comfort Food* !! I used sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. This was absolutely delicious! DH and I had this with recipe #155183. Thanks Misa! I will be making this great recipe again! Made for the Recipe of the Day at KK's.

I've been hanging around here for awhile, so I guess filling this part out is overdue...:oops: (6/09) I am a teacher, married to a pretty swell fella, and have a spoiled rotten princess, er, I mean, cat. I'm pretty eclectic with my passions - obviously cooking and eating being high on the list! I love to read (from cookbooks to horror/suspense to fiction, fantasy, sci-fi to nonfiction...if it's still long enough, I'll read it). I make beaded jewelry, mostly bead weaving, some stringing. Enjoy listening to most sorts of music - and it's a darn shame I can't dance, sing, or have any sort of rhythm. Computer geek at heart - I'm frequently on the net or playing games in my spare time. I also like drawing and writing, but I don't have as much time to do as much as I used to. I have amassed quite the Good Eats DVD collection (thanks to my DH.... and he's sweet enough to make sure I've picked up the plungers and dino squirt bottle along the way :D). And to complete the quintessential nerd profile, yes, I do read comics. I couldn't pick a single favorite cookbook, but golly, I looove fundraiser cookbooks. Talk about tried and true! I tend to collect all sorts of cookbooks, most of them southern cooking. Guess I cook what I know. If you ever try any of my recipes - thank you! I hope they tickle your tastebuds! <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
