Triple Cheddar and Colby Jack bring lots of cheese flavor to this creamy mac & cheese with just a hint of heat.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Borden® Triple Cheddar Natural Shreds
- 1 cup Borden® Colby Jack Natural Shreds
- 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
- 2 tablespoons Borden® Butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup Borden® Vitamin D Milk
- 1 cup Borden® Half & Half
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside of a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Combine Cheddar and Colby Jack cheeses in a medium bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Cook macaroni in boiling salted water according to package directions; drain well and set aside.
Step 3
Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Blend in flour, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly. Gradually whisk in milk and half & half. Stir constantly, until mixture boils and thickens (about 2 to 3 minutes). Remove from heat and add cayenne and black peppers, and 2 cups of the reserved cheese mixture; stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
Step 4
Stir cooked macaroni into the sauce and season to taste. Place in the prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and dot with additional butter, if desired. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through and lightly browned.
