FIVE CHEESE MAC 'N CHEESE FOR GROWNUPS

MAC-N-CHEESE FOR GROWN-UPS
This was sent to me in a William Sonoma magazine and it's a nice variation on an old classic that tends to be a more grown up taste (IMHO) It calls for cavatappi pasta (a fancier elbow looking pasta) but I couldn't find it so just used elbow. Has more steps than most mac-n-cheese I've made but I feel it's worth it and hope you do too.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and arrange the bacon in 1 layer on the baking rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the bacon is crisp. Remove the pan carefully from the oven - there will be hot grease in the pan! Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and crumble when it is cool enough to handle.
- Drizzle oil into a large pot of boiling salted water. Add the macaroni and cook according to the directions on the package, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. Melt the butter in a medium pot and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or 2 more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, blue cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and crumbled bacon and stir well. Pour into 2 individual size gratin dishes.
- Place the bread slices in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until you have coarse crumbs. Add the basil and pulse to combine. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the pasta. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top.

OMG MAC 'N CHEESE!
I took a recipe I found online and used it as the base for mine. This stuff is dynamite! This dish explodes with flavor...OMG Mac and Cheese has everything you want from mac and cheese: creamy, melty, stretchy cheese sauce with notes of cheddar, Colby Jack, and Monterey Jack. This makes a tender pasta/cheese with a topping of crunchy, toasted breadcrumbs. And OMG Mac 'n Cheese is a dish where everyone will want your recipe! (bacon is optional)

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a heavy skillet.
- Add the onion and saute on medium heat until softened and mostly cooked-about 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for one more minute-be careful not to brown the garlic.
- Whisk the flour in.
- Cook while stirring for three minutes.
- Uncooked flour tastes bad!
- Whisk in the milk.
- Continue to stir until the mixture barely begins to boil.
- It should be a little bubbly and beginning to thicken.
- Add the vinegar while whisking-if the milk is hot it won't curdle and the vinegar brightens up the sauce.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- If you don't want black flecks use white pepper instead.
- Add a dash of Tobasco.
- Taste then add more if you like.
- Stir in the pepperoncinis or jalapenos.
- You need to experiment-make this a few times and decide exactly how much of which pepper you like.
- Stir in your favorite cheeses.
- I like to combine sharp cheddar with a little crumbled bleu.
- Swiss is good for flavor but not texture so blend with something creamy like Fontina.
- Monterey Jack is very creamy but without a lot of flavor so add something sharp and flavorful.
- Pour the macaroni into a large baking pan.
- Pour the sauce over and gently mix.
- Sprinkle the parmesan and bread crumbs on top.
- Bake at 350 degrees until browned on top-about 25 minutes or so.
- Let sit for 10 minutes then serve.
- You may never even consider boxed mac-n-cheese again.
