But that beercase soup has me intrigued, I want to find out more about that the next time we talk.

She must have used mozzarella and cheddar, since that's what I had on hand. I suspect she did it on the stove, to accomodate picky brothers who don't want a crispy top.<br /><br />Glad to see you and Madison are eating well while you're all alone!Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-66518879470502125032014-03-24T11:19:29.303-04:002014-03-24T11:19:29.303-04:00I haven't made too many homemade versions but ...I haven't made too many homemade versions but wouldn't turn down a plate full of this cheesy goodness.

The creamy consistency wasn't there.One of the cheeses you used may have been one that didn't melt well. I add lots of creamy sauce because the noodles absorb quite a bit of it. The breadcrumbs on top are a nice touch. Your version looks delicious, Larry.

It does wonders with making it creamy and when you bake it, it doesn't get that grittiness to it like most mac and cheeses that call for regular milk. http://jennsfoodjourney.blogspot.com/2011/10/stove-top-chorizo-mac-cheese.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13976547731498214442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-511932079074193335.post-34934878388556882632014-03-23T15:20:30.667-04:002014-03-23T15:20:30.667-04:00I love a good homemade macaroni and cheese and usu...I love a good homemade macaroni and cheese and usually it's to clean out the cheese bin too.

One of my favorite recipes uses it as the main cheese and then the top is sprinkled with sharp cheddar and crushed and buttered ritz crackers.

I bet the pepper jack gave it a nice kick of spicy hotness that I like in mac & cheese. The best mac & cheese I've ever eaten was from Bahamian cooks who used evaporated milk in theirs (fresh milk is often hard to find in the islands, thus canned milk is standard) and theirs always had a kick from spicy bird peppers and cut more like a square and not gooey at all. Besides, the best part to me is the crusty top with the cheese :)<br /><br />I'm curious if Madison liked it. Our granddaughter, when she was a teen, would not eat any mac & cheese, no matter how good it was, unless it came from the blue box & believe me we tried.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.com
