Mac and Cheese, but make it ultra cheesy, creamy, rich, tangy, with a little bit of buttery crunch.
½ cup Hiland Dairy Butter (1 stick)
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups Hiland Dairy Whole Milk
12 ounces large elbow noodles
2 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
½ cup (1 stick) Hiland Dairy Butter, melted
1 cup panko bread crumbs
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large pot with salted water, boil the elbow noodles until al dente. (about 6 minutes) Drain pasta, and set aside.
In a dutch oven or heavy bottom pot on medium heat, add the Hiland butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk together. Whisk consistently for about 2 minutes then add the Hiland Dairy whole milk 1 cup at a time, whisking constantly after each addition. Continue to whisk for another 3 minutes.
Add the Sharp cheddar cheese and the Parmesan cheese and stir into the mixture until all is melted and combined.
Add the elbow noodles into the creamy cheesy sauce and gently stir all together until the noodles are covered with the sauce.
In a separate small bowl, mix the melted Hiland butter with the panko bread crumbs. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top of the mac and cheese then place the pot into the oven and cook for 5-10 minutes just until the bread crumbs are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve!
