In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, heat milk. Pour butter into the bowl with bread, and toss.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish set aside. Here’s the recipe that I used from Martha Stewart’s website, I also omitted the breadcrumbs because I just didn’t have time to do them:Ħ slices good-quality white bread, crusts removed, torn into 1/4- to 1/2-inch piecesĨ tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for dishĤ 1/2 cups (about 18 ounces) grated sharp white cheddarĢ cups (about 8 ounces) grated Gruyere or 1 1/4 cups (about 5 ounces) grated pecorino Romanoġ. I went to my favorite place to discover new things – Whole Foods and picked up a couple of packages of the Gruyere and by the suggestion of the cheese expert, I also picked up a wedge of Cotswold English Cheese to mix with it.
I decided to go with one of the recipes that had Gruyere cheese in it – mostly because it got the most votes via RT’s (retweets) as well as comments on Facebook. I promise you, I’m not turning into a food blog, but I love food, so that’s part of my life – so there ya go. Links, upon links, came flying in, and I made up in my mind to just try a bunch of them out, and blog about it each time. When I posted the question on my Facebook page, I wasn’t prepared for what I got. However, I wanted to branch out and get more of a savory taste with macaroni than I was getting with just the Colby cheese kind. It’s fantastic, AND I’m pretty proud to say that I come pretty close to making it just like her each and every time I make the attempt. This is what my heart pines for every holiday – and to boot, my granny makes it. I remember hoarding it in college (of course, I got the boxed kind) but ANY of it usually makes my heart skip a beat.įor the holidays, my side of the family makes this fantastic baked kind that consists of layers upon layers of Colby, elbow macaroni and a mixture of evaporated milk, an egg, a little sugar and some salt and butter. Last week, I took to the professionals and asked about something that I absolutely LURVE! That’s Mac N. *note – the title addictive mac and cheese comes from food blogger Emily Weinstein
