5 CHEESE BAKED MACARONI AND CHEESE



5 Cheese Baked Macaroni and Cheese image

I've adapted this recipe off of others after not finding exactly what I want in the ones I've tried. Try not to use extra sharp or aged cheeses, they don't melt well and contribute to the grainy texture everyone talks about in macaroni and cheese. Also, make sure all your cheese is grated and macaroni is boiled and drained before finishing the cheese sauce. Overcooking or letting it sit too long can also make the texture grainy.

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons hot Hungarian paprika
1 teaspoon ground mustard
3 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp
4 finely chopped scallions, white and green parts
1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Frank's or Cholula

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a deep 13-by-9-inch baking dish.

Start by adding the flour, paprika, ground mustard, garlic, scallions, hot sauce, cream cheese, a pinch of salt and more grinds of black pepper than normal. Mix this until combined completely. In a liquid measure, mix the heavy cream and pasta water together and add slowly to the bowl while whisking. Add the Cheddar, Gouda, mozzarella and Pecorino Romano cheeses.
