DUTCH OVEN MACARONI AND CHEESE



Dutch Oven Macaroni and Cheese image

This Dutch oven mac and cheese is a staple in my home. I sometimes add burger meat or bacon to it to liven it up but it's delicious enough on its own! Regularly served as the main course with just a veggie side, as it can be a bit heavy if you're a mac and cheese lover who can't resist seconds (like me).

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (12 ounce) package seashell pasta
4 tablespoons salted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded medium Cheddar cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon taco seasoning mix

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat an oven-safe Dutch oven over medium heat. Melt butter and flour in the hot pot, stirring, until blended; pour in milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to boil, stirring continuously, for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; continue to stir until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • Slowly fold in cheeses until melted and smooth. It is okay to raise the heat if you have to, just remember to keep stirring while the heat is on. Fold in cooked pasta until it is coated with cheese.
  • Combine panko bread crumbs, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, onion powder, and taco seasoning in a bowl. Sprinkle macaroni mixture with just enough of the bread crumbs to coat most of the surface; you should still see some pasta underneath the bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler and continue to cook until crust is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for at least 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

500g Macaroni
250g ham (low fat)
350-400g Cheese (gouda)
2 large white onions
3-6 cloves of garlic
breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven (preferably with grill) to 200C. Boil the macaroni. While boiling the macaroni, cut the onions and garlic into small pieces, and put in a large bowl. Cut the ham into small squares, and put in the same bowl. Take a large handful of cheese, put it in the bowl and mix thoroughly. After draining the macaroni, mix this in too. Put the mixture in a large, oven-proof dish (with some olive oil to avoid sticking!), and sprinkle the rest of the cheese evenly over the top. Take a small handful of breadcrumbs and distribute evenly. If it is not enough, take some more, just make sure all of the food is dusted. Put in the oven until the top is brown and crispy. Serve.
