They are always white cheddars and you’ll usually find some good choices in the gourmet cheese section of your grocery store or a nice cheese monger. These will often have the word “Mature” right on the label. Main Cheese – Start with a Mature Aged Cheddar.I’ve provided some other great topping options here, as well. It’s cheddar cheese, tossed with Chipotle Chili Powder, for a bit of smokey heat.
I’m a fan of the Chili Cheese topping (shown here). You can certainly use your favourites and experiment with different cheese, to make your own signature mac and cheese.Īnd finally, customize your creation with your favourite topping. I’ve made some suggestions for some types of cheese to use and will share my favourite combination, as well. Secondly, this mac and cheese uses great cheddar cheeses – two varieties, at least, for great depth of flavour. What makes this mac and cheese “ultimate”?įirst, have you ever made a mac and cheese that was lovely and creamy before it went into the oven, but after it was baked, you were disappointed to find that all that creaminess disappeared? That’s why you will love this version! It starts with lots of creamy cheese sauce, so even after baking, it’s still wonderfully creamy.
What makes this mac and cheese “ultimate”?.You can change up the seasonings as you like! I've just included what I use in mine. You probably won't use the whole pound of pasta, but it's good to cook the whole thing so you get the right sauce/pasta ratio. Sharp cheese is better! The flavor will be slightly diluted in the roux/milk mix. The more processed the cheese is, the greasier it will get. Use a high quality cheese - cheese that comes shredded and covered in cornstarch is bad. :) The additional butter also made it greasy. 4 tablespoons of each still make enough roux to thicken additional milk/cream. This recipe is easily doubled, but I've found that when I double it I don't increase the flour/butter. You can even do one cup of milk and one of cream if you're feeling crazy! I prefer to use whole milk - I've used lower fat milks in the past and it just tastes a little flat. 2 cups whole milk (room temp is best! - set it out a little before you begin)ġ pound cheese of choice - go for sharp and/or stinky.
