A rich creamy homemade treat. Great comfort food!
Ingredients:
- Whole 12oz package Macaroni Skinner Large Elbows(boiled & drained)
- 1/4 cup Flour – Gold medal all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp Pepper, red or cayenne
- 1.5 tsp Stone fine Ground Mustard seed
- 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3/4 cup Kroger brand mild cheddar cheese shredded or sharp
- 3/4 cup Swiss Cheese, Shredded Kroger 1 1/2 cups
- 1/4cup Great Value – plain bread crumbs
- 2 cup Milk, 1% microwave on low just to take the chill off and make lukewarm. About 2 minutes on power level 5 or 6.
- 11/4 cup Sams choice bone broth
- 1/2 tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Instructions:
- Precook the elbow macaroni according to instructions then drain and set aside.
- In a sauce pan heat olive oil over med/high heat then add the flour, mustard and cayenne pepper at this time candy stir constantly until thickened and paste-like, but remove the larger lumps with the back of a spatula or a potato masher.I like to premix my flour, mustard and cayenne in a small lidded plastic storage container about a four ounce one then lid it and shake it up.
- Begin adding the warmed milk about a quarter cup at a time until it starts to bubble up and simmer. At first your mixture will still be very paste-like from more flour and less milk,but will thin out after multiple milk add ins. To ensure you don't rush this process, always time yourself and give a full five minutes of time to add two cups of milk to pot, constantly stirring it and don't forget to scrape sides and bottom with a spatula for the flour film. I had a large chunk stuck to the bottom of one of my pans once ad it burned…Mot fun!
- Once all milkis added, add chicken bone broth to the pot, allow it to return to a boil and then remove from heat and add shredded cheeses to the liquid and pepper. Stir until cheese is melted and blended in well.
- Spray with cooking spray a Pyrex dish and preheat the oven to 350F.
- Add cooked elbow macaroni to dish then pour over the milky liquid and stir to coat noodles. Top with bread crumbs and pop into oven for 30 minutes.
- Caution it will be very hot.
- Serving Size: Makes about 10 3/4 cup servings.
