Add the macaroni to a prepared baking dish (sprayed with non-stick spray).
Of course you could use fresh mushrooms if you have the time (and another pan!) to cook them.Ĭountry Crock is currently hosting a contest all about casseroles! Go here and share a photo of your favorite casserole, and share in 100 words how you demonstrate creativity and resourcefulness in the kitchen. Stir in 1 cup of the sharp cheddar and 1 ½ cups of the medium cheddar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. And I know I’ll probably get some comments about the canned mushrooms but I swear they’re a lifesaver when you just want to make something quickly. I use Canadian bacon and mushrooms but you could switch it up with bacon or another vegetable if you want. The rest of the macaroni and cheese recipe is pretty basic. I’m telling you, it’s the crunchy topping!įor this recipe, the topping is made up of crushed Ritz crackers and then you drizzle a little Country Crock over the topping so they get even more crunchy and buttery. It is my husband’s favorite and the kids eat it without complaint even though there’s mushrooms in it. Seriously, probably 6 years, but for some reason I haven’t shared it on the blog yet. I have been making this macaroni and cheese for years now. Horrible!Ĭountry Crock recently asked me to talk all about casseroles (which is what got me thinking about it) and to share a favorite recipe. I’m horrible about standing over a bubbly casserole and picking all the topping off. While flour and butter are included in many recipes for macaroni and cheese, both can be left out without affecting either the flavor or the texture of the dish. Let the macaroni sit for five minutes before serving. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Top with the remaining ½ cup Gruyere and ½ cup cheddar and then sprinkle the Ritz cracker mixture on the cheese.

For me, it’s definitely a crunchy, buttery topping. Pour the mac and cheese into a greased 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish or 12-inch cast-iron skillet. But I was trying to figure out what it is that makes casseroles so scrumptious. It can also incorporate other ingredients, such as breadcrumbs or meat.
And you guys know I love some casseroles. Macaroni and cheesealso called mac and cheese in the United States, and macaroni cheese in the United Kingdomis a dish of cooked macaroni pasta and a cheese sauce, most commonly cheddar. I got to thinking about casseroles the other day.
