Cheesy Baked Mac & Cheese 🧀 i make this for Thanksgiving every year and its so easy to make! I would highly recommend using freshly shredded cheese so you dont add any extra starch in the recipe. The pre-shredded cheeses tend to have extra starch coating on it. Serves about 10 Ingredients - 1 lb corkscrew pasta (cavatappi) - 4 tbsp unsalted butter - 2 small or 1 large finely minced shallot (about ¼ to ⅓ cup) - 6 cloves garlic, minced - 4 tbsp all-purpose flour - 2 cups heavy cream - 1 cup half and half - 1 cup whole milk - 3 tbsp cream cheese, softened - 4 oz Gouda cheese, freshly shredded - 4 oz pepper jack or colby jack cheese, freshly shredded - 6 oz mozzarella, freshly shredded - 4 oz sharp cheddar, freshly shredded For the Cheese Layering: - 2 oz Gouda cheese, freshly shredded - 2 oz pepper jack or colby jack cheese, freshly shredded - 8 oz mozzarella, freshly shredded - 4 oz sharp cheddar, freshly shredded The Seasonings: - 2 tsp garlic powder - 2 tsp onion powder - 1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder - 1 tsp smoked paprika - 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard or soy sauce for an umami taste (optional) - Salt & pepper to taste Full detailed recipe on my website.
