April 30, 2005World's best Mac and CheeseAnybody with kids knows that kid food can get more than a little tiring. Hot dogs; plain cheese pizza; grilled cheese sandwiches; mac and cheese. I've found an excellent solution to this problem - the World's Best Macaroni and Cheese. Yes, it's true, this is the world's very best. It is yummy for grown-ups and kids too. Here's what you do. Next time you're at Costco (really - they have a great and huge cheese section - or you could get it on Amazon I suppose), look for a big hunk of Fontina and a big hunk of Gruyere cheese. Don't substitute cheapo cheddar or other oily cheeses. You don't want to end up tasting like Kraft.

Dude! Your recipe is going to kill someone with a coronary. Try using plain milk or half-and-half if you want to make it meatless or lower sodium. Also, if you do step 4, advise your friends to use a whisk. I have screwed up many a white sauce by not using a whisk. I've ended up with a lumpy mess. There's few things sadder than a ruined white sauce when it's so damned easy to make one. Remind them too, that the heat should not be too hot either and that the butter should coat every last piece of flour. If not, your sauce will taste floury. I used to work at Rollers Market in high school. It's kind of far from where you live, but closer to you than to me. They carry some fantastic cheeses. I got my education in fontina and gruyere while working there. The question is, do you add peas or bacon to yours? Try it with smoked gouda. I had it like that at Fog City Diner once. To die for.

It may be the best vegetarian mac and cheese though. My dad says add prosciutto. Posted by: nobody at November 16, 2008 01:36 PMPost a comment
