Panera Mac Cheese Recipes

PANERA MAC & CHEESE

Panera Mac & Cheese image

I have been looking for this yummy, very filling recipe and finally found it on a People magazine website. I think it tastes exactly like Panera, especially when reheated. Don't forget to add milk when reheating. I am writing this recipe as published, adding my little notes. Please read my edits before attempting to make this...I copied the recipe as written but I do not put anyour hot sauce in mine. 12/13/11 - I am changing the hot sauce to optional...The second time I made this, my DH put a little more than the 1/4 tsp (probably 1 extra drop) and all you could taste was hot sauce. I started making it without the hot sauce and it's fine. 3/21/16...I looked up this recipe for the milk measurement and the only word I saw was GROSS...lol...anyway...I DO NOT use hot sauce when I make mine...put too much in once and it was gross...when I put the dijon mustard in...I put half the amount in and taste it and go from there...Do not use yellow mustard because it will be tangy.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package small shell pasta
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups 2% low-fat milk (I used 1% milk)
6 slices American cheese, chopped (I used Land O Lakes white, presliced from the deli)
1 cup extra-sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded (I used an 8 oz block of Cabot Vermont extra sharp and cut into small pieces for better melting)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (I used a store brand-start with half the amount and taste as you go)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (optional-I do not recommend using it. If you add too much then all you taste is the hot sauce)
paprika (optional-I use smoked paprika)

Steps:

Prepare pasta according to package directions.
Melt butter in a Dutch oven over low heat. (I just used a regular pan) Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute, whisking constantly.
Gradually whisk in milk, cook over medium heat, whisking until mixture thickens and is bubbly. Remove from heat.
Add cheeses, mustard, salt, and hot sauce, stirring until cheese melts and sauce is smooth.
Stir in pasta and cook over medium heat, 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with paprika if desired. Serve immediately.

PANERA MAC & CHEESE (COPY CAT)

Panera Mac & Cheese (Copy Cat) image

My daughter eats Panera Mac & Cheese all the time so when I came across this recipe on a blog somewhere, I had to try it. While it's not identical to what she's used to eating at PB, she said this is pretty close and tastes great. She devoured her plate in minutes. I've tried many homemade mac 'n cheese recipes and all of them have been snubbed by her. However, this one has her APPROVAL to go into the recipe book. Super creamy. Will need to add a bit more milk when reheating to thin out the sauce. The recipe I found calls for hot sauce, but I forgot to add it. She seemed to like it just fine, but next time I'm going to add it and see if then tastes identical.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 lb pasta shells
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour, all purpose
2 1/2 cups milk
6 slices white American cheese, deli slice thickness
8 ounces white cheddar cheese, extra-sharp, shredded
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt (I prefer sea salt)
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce

Steps:

Prepare pasta according to directions on the package. While the pasta is cooking, prepare your cheese sauce.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the flour and whisk constantly for about a minute.
Slowly add the milk and continue whisking until it thickens (just before it starts to bubble).
Remove from heat and add the cheeses, mustard, salt and hot sauce. Stir until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, slowly add a milk, while continue to whisk, until you reach your preferred consistency.
Add your pasta to the cheese sauce and serve immediately.
