EASY NO-BOIL MACARONI & CHEESE



Easy No-Boil Macaroni & Cheese image

I found this recipe in a doctor's office. It is great for a week night meal as you don't need to boil the pasta first; instead, you just basically toss the ingredients together and then bake in the oven. I really enjoyed the dish when it came out of the oven, but I was less enthusiastic about the leftovers (yet I hate leftovers anyway.)

NO-BOIL SMOKER MACARONI AND CHEESE



No-Boil Smoker Macaroni and Cheese image

This extra smoky mac and cheese can be prepared ahead and added to your grill and smoker set up when you're finishing off other dishes for the ultimate barbecue side. One tablespoon of chipotle adobo sauce adds extra smokiness and a bit of heat, but feel free to add more as desired if you prefer more smoke and spice.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 to 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotles in adobo
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
8 ounces mild yellow Cheddar, shredded (about 2 cups)
8 ounces smoked Gouda, shredded (about cups)
8 ounces processed cheese, such as Velveeta, cubed
1 pound elbow macaroni

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat (about 375 degrees F if your grill has a thermometer; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners on low or off; for a charcoal grill, bank the coals on one side of the grill). Prepare a smoker tube with smoking pellets according to the manufacturer's instructions and set on the grill to begin smoking (see Cook's Note).
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a smooth paste. Cook, stirring, until the mixture smells nutty but hasn't browned, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the smoked paprika, then whisk in the milk and cream. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened and smooth, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the adobo and salt. Off heat, whisk in half of the shredded Cheddar and Gouda and all of the processed cheese cubes to make a smooth sauce.
  • Spread the uncooked macaroni in a disposable 9-by-13-inch foil baking tin and pour the sauce over. Stir to coat the pasta in the sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese. Cover tightly with foil and place on the indirect part of the grill. Close the grill. Cook until the pasta is al dente, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil, close the grill and cook 10 minutes more. If cooking on a gas grill, turn off the grill, close the lid and let rest in the grill with the smoker tube for 10 minutes more before serving. (On a charcoal grill, just remove the baking tin and serve.)

NO-BOIL MAC AND CHEESE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature, plus 2 tablespoons melted
2 cups dry, plain bread crumbs (I like Panko)
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (preferably freshly grated)
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 can (15 ounces) evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups heavy (whipping) cream
2 tablespoons dehydrated onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces (about 2 cups) freshly shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (preferably orange)
8 ounces (about 2 cups) freshly shredded fontina cheese
1 box (16 ounces) elbow macaroni, uncooked

Steps:

  • Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Grease a rimmed sheet pan with the room-temperature butter and set aside. Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese in a medium-size bowl. Stir in the melted butter and set aside.
  • Whisk the whole milk, evaporated milk, cream, onion, garlic powder, salt, and the Cheddar and fontina cheeses in a large bowl. Add the uncooked macaroni and stir until well coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared sheet pan, spreading it in an even later. Cover the sheet pan with aluminum foil (you may need 2 sheets), crimping it tightly around the edges to seal (make sure to get a good seal on the foil, otherwise the pasta won't cook). Bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and stir the macaroni. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top and continue to bake for 25 minutes more.
  • Turn the broiler to high and broil the macaroni and cheese until it is golden brown on top and bubbling, about 10 minutes (watch the macaroni and cheese closely, as broiler intensities vary). Remove from the oven and let the pasta stand, covered, 5 minutes before serving.
