Ingredients for homemade macaroni and cheese
* 1 lb. Elbow pasta * Cooking oil * 1 teaspoons of salt * 3 cups milk * 3/4 cup of flour * 10 ounce Swiss Cheese * 8-10 oz of Sharp Cheddar * Six Tablespoons saltless butter - divided * 2 teaspoon salt and pepper * 2 teaspoon nutmeg * 2 Tablespoons Kosher salt * 8 pieces of smoked bacon
Preparing the Macaroni and cheese
Firstly you should preheat the stove to 400 f to get the macaroni and cheese ready for baking as soon as you are done preparing the components. Take a large container and fill it up with water. Place it over the oven and put the temp to high to bring the water to a rapid boil. After the water starts to boil, put in the macaroni along with the oil and salt. Both of these extra ingredients will help to season your elbow macaroni. Continue this way for around 5-7 minutes so that the macaroni is soft and al dente or even your preferred consistency. Make sure to drain after doing that. At the same time you're boiling the noodles, youll need to make the cheese portion as well. To achieve this, warm up all the whole milk within a saucepan over a low heat. Be sure you mix reasonably regularly to prevent burning the milk. Alongside that, soften down the Six tablespoons of butter over a low heat too. When it is liquefied, add in the flour to thicken it and then stir another couple minutes. With both pots heated, now you can put the milk in the flour and butter combo. Mix these until they are as smooth as you can. At this moment add in the cheese a small amount at one time, mixing until even each time more cheese is introduced. With the cheese included, you could add in your spices including salt, pepper, nutmeg, or some other spices you could appreciate. At last blend the macaroni and cheese sauce to get ready to set these inside of the stove.
Macaroni Bake Time!
At this time pour the macaroni and cheese blend in to a good sized baking pan. We use 10" x 10", however, you can be free to make use of just about any size you desire. Be sure to cover your pan with aluminum foil after to help trap inside the warmth and bake the dish faster. Cook for around 30 minutes with the foil on as this should provide sufficient time for it to bake all the way through. After this time, remove the aluminum foil and bake an additional 15 minutes to be sure the top of the macaroni and cheese may get a nice crunchy, cheesy crust.
