Blue Mac-n-Cheese
- 16 ounces, weight Spiral Tube Pasta
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/4 cups All-purpose Flour
- 12 ounces, fluid Evaporated Milk
- 8 ounces, fluid Heavy Whipping Cream
- 4 ounces, fluid Milk (skim Or Whatever You Prefer)
- 3 cups Shredded Cheese (whatever Variety You Prefer)
- 1 cup Blue Cheese, Crumbled
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
- 2 cups Panko Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 cups Blue Cheese, Crumbled
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, about 8 minutes.
- Drain, empty into large bowl, and set aside.
- Using the same pot you used to cook the pasta, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat.
- Add flour.
- Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly (dont let the mixture brown).
- Slowly whisk in milks and cream.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture slightly thickens, about 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low.
- Add all of the cheese (I use cheddar) and 1 cup crumbled blue cheese.
- Whisk until cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked pasta to sauce and stir to coat.
- Transfer to sprayed baking dish.
- Coat with topping (recipe below) and cook in oven until it begins to bubble about 25 minutes.
- TOPPING: In small bowl, combine topping ingredients: 2 Tablespoons of melted butter, 2 cups Panko, 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese.
- Variations: Milk/Cream: Use whatever you have, as long as you have a combined total of 3 cups.
- (I dont recommend using all heavy whipping cream...)
