Baked Macaroni with white cheddar cheese is mighty good comfort food. 

Easy to make with simple ingredients.  Pairs well with my Taco Meatloaf.

THE INGREDIENTS

The five ingredients pictured are:  unsalted butter, shredded white sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella and provolone cheese (low-moisture), one egg, and elbow macaroni.  Buttermilk not pictured.  

 

WHAT IS WHITE CHEDDAR CHEESE? 

Sharp white cheddar cheese is the same as the classic dark yellow-orange cheddar cheese.  The only difference is color.  

Cheddar cheese has a sharp cheesy taste.  It’s made with natural cow milk.  

The cow milk’s color ranges from white to deep yellow. 

The color depends on what the cows were fed, their breed, and the amount of cream in the milk.

 

ENJOY!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup elbow macaroni
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium egg, beaten
  • 1-1/4 cup buttermilk I use whole cultured.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional) Add more or less if desired.
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional) Add more or less if desired.
  • 1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Prepare elbow macaroni according to instructions printed on box. Simmer until al dente (easily pierced with a fork). Over cooking will create mushy macaroni. Avoid.
  3. Drain macaroni. Pour drained macaroni into 9x13 buttered baking dish (I used a dutch oven). Add unsalted butter and stir until melted.
  4. Stir in beaten egg, buttermilk and seasonings. Add shredded white cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella/provolone cheese and shredded cheddar cheese (if using).
  5. Stir until well combined.
  6. baked for 15 to 17 minutes OR until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve hot. Sprinkle with paprika before serving (optional).
