Best Macaroni And Cheese Egg Roll Recipes

CLASSIC SOUTHERN MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch ovenproof casserole dish.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until tender (a little more than al dente), about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander.
• In a large bowl, combine the macaroni, cheese, milk and eggs. Add some salt and pepper. Transfer to the prepared dish.
• Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly before serving.

BACON MAC AND CHEESE EGGROLLS WITH QUICK RANCH

Steps:

• For the eggrolls: Cook the pasta in boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the bacon and all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease. Add the cream to the saucepan and heat for a minute or two. Add the Cheddar jack and processed cheese and stir until melted. Stir in the pasta, some pepper and the chopped bacon. Set aside.
• Put a small bowl of water next to a cutting board. One at a time, place an egg roll wrapper onto the cutting board with a corner of the wrapper pointing towards you. Dampen a finger with the water and moisten the outer edges of the wrapper. Scoop 3 tablespoons of the mac and cheese into the center of the wrapper. Fold the corner closest to you over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll the wrapper until it's tight and closed. Press to seal and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Heat an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the egg rolls in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let the oil return to temperature between batches.
• For the quick ranch: Combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, pesto, flaky sea salt and pepper in a bowl. Serve with the eggrolls as a dipping sauce.

SOUTHERN MACARONI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook according to package directions until a little under al dente, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk milk and eggs. Add cooked macaroni, 2 cups extra-sharp Cheddar, melted butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and stir until well combined.
• Add half the macaroni mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish in an even layer. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups Colby Jack evenly on top. Spread the remaining macaroni mixture on top in an even layer. Cover with aluminum foil, transfer to the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Carefully remove and discard the aluminum foil. Top the macaroni mixture with the remaining 2 cups Cheddar and 1/2 cup Colby Jack. Broil on top rack until cheese is browned in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. (The broiled cheese can go from golden to burnt fairly quickly, so keep a close eye on it.)
• Remove from oven and let cool until the macaroni and cheese is fully set, 10 to 15 minutes. (The mixture may first appear jiggly, but it will firm up as it cools.) Serve warm.
