I did use some excellent Costco sharp cheddar we have (hand shredded) and some shredded Trader Joe’s mozzarella along with some hand-shredded, aged pecorino romano to finish the béchamel sauce off perfectamente. I didn’t have any white pepper, but no matter what my wife cooks has black specks in it anyway - she uses our smoke alarm as an oven timer. It’s like little radiators, and it holds sauce much more better.Īnd then, while I did use the mustard powder, I had to use black pepper. So I used 250 gm of that instead of half a pound of small elbow. Then I decided to use my favorite pasta instead of the “traditional” elbow radiator: hard to find, but I have a source at a small Amish store called The Ashery Country Store in Fredricksberg, OH. Since we don’t have milk, I made milk out of a 50/50 mixture of plain green yogurt and water. So this time, I made the recipe EXACTLY the way you said… with a few exceptions. Not sure why I do this, but it wouldn’t seem right otherwise. So I started as usual by slicing a cucumber, an orange, a jalapeno pepper and a lime, and then frying an egg and broiling a nice piece of tuna. (Bake 30-40 minutes if starting with a refrigerated casserole)Īfter consuming the rest of that yummy apple cake with butter cheese frosting, I said to my wife, Carol, what should we make today seeing as how we are going to the gym now five days a week? And it just so happened I came upon the Hilah Mac and Cheese recipe!!

Bake 20-25 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown.

Sprinkle top with bread crumbs and reserved 1/4 cup Cheddar.

Once coated, spread into your greased pan.

Drain and add the noodles to the cheese sauce.

Add the noodles and boil for only 3-4 minutes until beginning to soften. Remove from heat and stir in cheeses, reserving 1/4 cup Cheddar for topping. Continue stirring, making sure to get the corners of the pot, until mixture comes to a simmer. Whisk in half the milk and continue whisking until smooth.Add mustard, salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low heat for about 60 seconds until you start to smell the flour toasting. Make a roux in a deep skillet by melting butter, then whisking in flour until a smooth paste forms.Set oven to preheat to 375✯ and grease a 1 1/2 or 2 quart baking dish. Salt it well, cover, and place on high heat. Put on a quart or so of water to boil for the noodles.
