What 2 cheeses are best for mac and cheese?
- cheddar cheese is the staple cheese used
- Mozzerella cheese melts better (use a mix of both)
- update the taste with parmesan cheese in the mixture for a more salty flavor.
- For a more mature cheese taste use Gruyere cheese.
- Use gouda as well, it goes well with mac n cheese.
Using some cheddar with other cheeses will only give the dish more color and sharpness of flavor. This mac and cheese dish is so versatile and can be changed up to suit what ingredients you have on hand.
How do you make mac and cheese less boring?
To turn your mac and cheese dish into an all round meal, add some protein. Such as shredded left over chicken, or cubes of ham, bacon bits, and sliced sausages. Use some milk and cream mix, half and half. Even if you dislike cream or its to rich then use some evaporated ideal milk, or half and half for a less creamy taste. It’s such a versatile dish to add mix ins for a more rounded filling meal.

How To
In a pot with water and salt, boil the macaroni until done. Grate the cheese, and whisk the egg and cream or milk with salt and pepper. Cut the tomato and onion, or use a tin of tomato and onion. View the recipe for how to work the tomato and onion.
First layer the pasta then add some garlic flakes, then spread half the tomato mixture over the pasta, next sprinkle some cheese over the tomato. Repeat the layer. Then sprinkle the cheese all over the top of the pasta dish, sprinkle with dried herbs.
Add the whisked organic eggs and milk and salt and pepper. Organic eggs are very orange in color. Pour completely all over the ingredients of the dish. Then bake in the oven until cooked.
Below image shows the amount of egg and milk mixture needed for the dish. This is before baking in the oven.
In the image below 👇 notice the is cooked until you notice that the milk mixture is firm on the sides of the dish. Browned on the top. A glass Pyrex casserole dish is useful to see that it is cooked on the sides.
Notice the yellow color of the egg mixture, which just shows that the eggs are organic.
When you get that lovely aroma of the food then you should know its cooked. Golden cheese and egg mix crust on top, which is the best.
Dish up warm and use salad or as we prefer it just with tomato sauce. Lots of garlic goes in my dish as garlic is good for digestion.
