Directions

Combine flour, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Mix in with the milk and flour mixture, combining until smooth. Let the dough stand for half an hour.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Use a spaetzle press to press the batter into the water. If you don’t have this specialized tool (we don’t blame you), you can use a potato ricer, colander, or cheese grater. You can tell it’s done cooking when the noodles float to the top of the water.

Drain the water and place the noodles into a bowl and mix in the cheese.

Cook diced onions in melted butter until golden. Stir in the noodles and cheese until well combined. Serve while still hot with a green salad on the side.

Veggies

Not only will adding vegetables boost the nutritional value of your meal, but it will also add extra flavor. Broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, and cauliflower are all great additions. You can also sauté up some onions or cherry tomatoes to throw in as well.

Spice It Up

The next time you decide to make boxed mac, try throwing in some spices you already have in your pantry. Red pepper flakes, chili powder, garlic, or Italian seasoning is an easy and budget-friendly way to boost your mac and cheese. If you’re a fan of spicy food, try adding hot sauces such as Sriracha or Tabasco.

Make it Cheesier

Stick to this simple rule: you can never have too much cheese in mac and cheese. Add an extra layer of cheesy flavor to your Mac by throwing in some parmesan, goat cheese, mozzarella or whatever other cheese you have in your fridge.

The post 3 Ways to Spice Up Boxed Mac and Cheese appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.

Sharp Cheddar

When you don’t want to risk ruining dinner, go with sharp cheddar. It has a low melting point and stays smooth. It basically gives you the mac & cheese you always imagine when you think about the dish.

Gouda

Another great option is gouda, a type of cheese that melts wonderfully and provides great flavor.

Gruyère

It’s a hard cheese, but it melts great and has a nutty flavor that’ll make you fall in love at first try.

Cream Cheese

In case you have some cream cheese in the fridge, don’t be afraid to use it to make mac & cheese! It’s especially great if you prepare your food in a slow cooker.

Brie

Feeling fancy or have special guests coming over? Use brie to make a classic dish with a twist.

The post The Best Types of Cheese for Mac & Cheese appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.

As if the idea of a taco shell created entirely out of bacon wasn’t appetizing enough, swapping out the various mixture of meat, beans, lettuce, and tomatoes for some good old American mac and cheese should get your taste buds watering. What’s better than that? Why, a beer mac and cheese, of course!

Getting Started 

To create the bacon wrap shell taco, you’ll need bacon—that’s it. Nice and simple, just a package of bacon. Brand and flavor are totally up to you.

The ingredient list for the beer mac and cheese is slightly more complex, however. To create this dish, you’ll need to get your hands on an IPA beer, Monterey Jack cheese, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, heavy cream, whole milk, condensed milk, unsalted butter, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, a box of pasta (whichever is your favorite), and mustard.

You’ll need to dig out that slow cooker you got as a housewarming present all those years ago, too.

The Nitty Gritty 

Empty the box of pasta you chose into the slow cooker. Toss in four tablespoons of the unsalted butter, a squeeze of mustard, a few dashes of both the hot sauce and the Worcestershire sauce. While you can select whatever hot sauce suits your tastes best, try to avoid Sriracha, as this particular blend overpowers the cheesy-ness of the dish.

Dairy, Dairy, Quite Contrary 

Now, pour in the whole and condensed milks, the heavy cream, and half of the IPA you selected. Add all three kinds of cheese, grated, to the mix.

Once you’ve combined the ingredients in the slow cooker, it’s time to get cooking. Let the mixture cook on low for two to three hours. This will be sufficient enough time to allow the liquid ingredients to be absorbed and for the pasta to cook thoroughly.

After two to three hours, switch the slow cooker to the warm setting (or off entirely if yours doesn’t have this option), and add a 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. No need to stir. Letting the cheese melt directly on top will give the dish a good coloring as well as a gooey layer.

Bacon Makes The World Go Round

Here comes the tricky part. Take the bacon and literally weave it, just like a basket. Place the woven bacon sheet onto an elevated cooking area, like a wire rack, and cook it to be medium to medium-well (think 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes).

Once you’ve reached this point, take a bowl, place it over your bacon wrap sheet, and trace around it with a pizza cutter. Drain the bacon grease, turn off your oven, and place the shell back in to finalize cooking using leftover heat trapped inside.

After 15 to 20 minutes, remove the shell and pack it with the now-finished beer mac and cheese.

Now, enjoy! Oh, and you know how we only used half a can of that IPA? It goes great with your dinner. Drink up!

This week, the restaurant is updating its menu with a new permanent side dish for the first time since 2016. The meal that met the cut? Mac and cheese.

The company shared a press release talking about their version of this classic comfort food that includes a blend of cheeses: cheddar, parmesan, and Romano. They will bake it fresh every day and serve for lunch and dinner. Mac and cheese became available at Chick-fil-A on August 12th, so you can already order and try it! It’s also on the kid’s menu and available in larger quantities for catering

“We have a very high bar when it comes to adding a menu item,” the company’s executive director Amanda Norris said in a statement, “but the feedback from our customers in the test markets made this decision easy.” It’s not surprising, given the popularity of this classic dish.

Most people don’t think about this, but it’s actually quite easy. You only need to swap one ingredient, and it won’t even take you longer than usual.

The little secret that will bring your macaroni to the next level is in swapping the regular milk for buttermilk.

Buttermilk is cultured and will give your dish a sour flavor that will instantly turn it into something less ordinary. Buttermilk will balance out the taste of salt and fat that are dominant in mac and cheese while not depriving it of beloved creaminess.
