Macaroni and Cheese on a Stick

Macaroni and Cheese on a Stick

Who doesn't love Macaroni and Cheese?? But who has the energy to eat it with a fork/spoon/spork? I know I don't, so I thought to myself "Why don't I make Mac&Cheese on a stick?" ... so it was thought, so shall it be done ^_^

Step 1Making Macaroni

Making Macaroni
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 1/2 tbsp flour
- 1 1/4 cup warm milk
- Pinch of nutmeg and cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (I used marble, but you could use any good quality hard cheese Gruyere, mozzarella, cheddar)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
1. In a medium sized pot, bring some salted water to a boil and cook macaroni as per instructions on the bag. Once al dente, drain the pasta and set aside.
2. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter.
3. Add flour to butter, whisking vigorously until mixture if of uniform consistency. Remove pot from heat, and slowly add the warm milk (whisking continuously to avoid lumps).
4. Return butter + flour + milk mixture to stove and bring to a simmer. Add cayenne and nutmeg, and continue to stir. 
5. Once sauce thickens, remove pan from heat and add in the cheese. Continue to stir sauce until cheese dissolves.
6. In a casserole dish, combine the sauce and the macaroni. Mix thoroughly until all pasta is coated with cheese sauce. Cover dish, and place macaroni in the fridge for at least 4 hours (best if placed in fridge overnight).

I made these but substituted cheese butter and milk for vegan options and they still turned out tasty. the ketchup sealed the deal.

Don't think I would recommend mozzarella as it doesnt really melt into sauces, rather it lays about in a ropey mess. Think "those long stringy bits stretching from the pizza to your mouth". Otherwise... awesome

Love it. Great job. Am I the only one who thinks it odd that you don't have the energy to eat the Mac'n'Cheese with a fork but you have the energy to make it, put it in the refridgerator for a day, batter dip it and fry it? ;) I'm still going to give it a try.
