Top Food Bloggers Create Macaroni and Cheese Recipes
WMMB Launches Macaroni and Cheese Blog for National Cheese Lovers Day
Ooey. Gooey. Warm. Comforting. All words that describe one of America’s favorite foods: macaroni and cheese. The combination of perfectly cooked pasta and a succulent cheese sauce is a match made in comfort food heaven.
Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board invited 30 of the country’s top food bloggers to create their own macaroni and cheese recipes using Wisconsin Cheese. The results are a cook’s dream – a collection of recipes that run the gamut of simple to sophisticated.
The new recipe blog, “30 Days, 30 Ways with Macaroni and Cheese,” kicks off January 20 in celebration of National Cheese Lover’s Day. Each day, a different blogger will post her original macaroni and cheese recipe showcasing a Wisconsin Cheese – more than 25 cheeses will be featured throughout the month!
Today’s recipe is
Wisconsin Three Cheese Macaroni & Cheese
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
1/2 cup (2 ounces) Wisconsin Gouda Cheese, shredded and divided
1/2 cup (2 ounces) Wisconsin Salsa Jack Cheese, shredded and divided
1/2 cup (2 ounces) Wisconsin Brick Cheese, shredded and divided
1/2 package (8 ounces) “twists” noodles
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter 2 minutes. When butter bubbles, add flour, whisking for 1 minute. Slowly pour in milk. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until mixture becomes thick, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in 1/3 cup Gouda, 1/3 cup Salsa Jack and 1/3 cup Brick Cheese. Stir until cheese melts and combines; set cheese sauce aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta well and stir into reserved cheese mixture.
Pour mixture into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses. Cover with lid or aluminum foil and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned. Cool slightly before serving.
