Mac & Cheese with Style






Ingredients:

3 c       Macaroni
1 tin     Cream of Mushroom condensed soup
1 tin     Milk
2 tsp    Garlic Powder
70g      Asiago (diced or grated)
80g      Smoked Jarlsberg (diced or grated)
100g    Brie or Camembert dices up as best you can

½ c     Old (Sharp) Cheddar grated (if you’re feeling particularly schmancy, Applewood            
           smoked Cheddar is excellent!)

Pre-heat Oven to 400o F

Boil up the macaroni.  While that’s cooking, mix the condensed soup, milk, sour cream, and garlic together and dice/grate the cheeses.

Drain the macaroni, once cooked, and put it in an oven-safe dish.  Pour in the mushroom sauce, Asiago, Jarlsberg, and Brie and stir.  Sprinkle the Cheddar on top and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes.  Before taking it out of the oven, turn on the broiler and let it crunch up the cheese on top a little, just 5 minutes on the middle rack.

To be “grown-up” it’s a nice side for grilled chicken and goes well with a chilled chardonnay.

Happy Feasting!
