So I realized today that this post for Homemade Macaroni and Cheese is my 200th! How crazy is that? Okay, back to your regular programing… time for an awesome recipe for Homemade Macaroni and Cheese!
Winter weather really makes me crave comfort food. When it snows (like it did this weekend) my need for comfort food escalates.
I’ve been looking for any excuse to make another mac and cheese recipe, so I jumped at the chance to make it during the snow.
I originally printed out this recipe from Cooking Light, but I changed it so much to fit what I could find it’s barely recognizable. The overall method is basically the same though.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 an onion, diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 1/4 cups 1% low fat milk
- 1 box uncooked elbow macaroni
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 4 ounces cubed sharp cheddar cheese
- 4ounces cubed gouda cheese
- Panko breadcrumbs
- Grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped
