Extra Crunchy Sheet Pan Mac And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and set aside.
• Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than the box instructions (it will finish in the oven). Drain and set aside.
• Add the milk and annatto to a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat and bring to a low simmer. Place 1 cup cheese snacks in the center of a double-layered square of cheesecloth. Gather the sides together to form a pouch and secure with kitchen twine. Put the pouch in the warm milk and steep for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, then remove the pouch and discard.
• Add the butter to a 6-quart Dutch oven and let melt, then add the flour to make a roux. Whisk until smooth, then cook until blonde in color, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisking vigorously, slowly add the milk mixture. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, then cook, whisking occasionally, about 2 minutes more. Add the cheeses and season with salt and pepper. Mix in the pasta until fully coated. Transfer the mac and cheese to the buttered baking dish.
• Crush the remaining cup cheese snacks in a resealable bag using a rolling pin. Top the mac and cheese in an even layer with the crumbled hot cheese snacks and bake until bubbly and gooey, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a half-sheet pan in the oven to heat.
• Place a saucepan over a medium heat, then add the evaporated milk, processed cheese, 1 cup of the Cheddar, 1 cup of the Gruyere, the dry mustard, hot sauce and salt, then whisk until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and stir to coat and combine.
• In a small bowl, toss together the Parmesan with the remaining 1 1/2 cups Cheddar and 1 1/2 cups Gruyere.
• Remove the sheet pan from the oven and carefully spray with the cooking spray. Pour the mac and cheese from the saucepan into the sheet pan and spread evenly.
• Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the top. Bake until the cheese topping is fully melted and the mixture is bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, then garnish with the basil and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 18x13x1-inch sheet pan with cooking spray. Cook and drain macaroni as directed on package.
• While macaroni is cooking, melt 1/2 cup butter in 5-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt, pepper and red pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly, then cook 1 minute longer. Stir in mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in cheese until melted.
• Gently stir macaroni into cheese sauce. Pour into sheet pan; spread evenly.
• In medium bowl, mix melted butter and bread crumbs; sprinkle evenly over pasta mixture. Bake 32 to 36 minutes or until sauce is absorbed and bread crumb mixture is golden brown and crispy.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat, about 1 minute. Whisk flour into butter to form a roux. Add milk and cream, stirring to blend. Add Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and grated Cheddar cheese. Stir until melted, 1 to 3 minutes. Drain macaroni and add to the saucepan. Mix until combined. Spread mixture out onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Combine panko bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt in a bowl. Sprinkle mixture over the macaroni and cheese on the baking sheet. Place remaining butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in a microwave oven until melted, about 1 minute. Drizzle melted butter over the macaroni and cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.
