Evaporated milk, yet again? Onwards and upwards. Moved on to Cook’s Illustrated Best Recipes. Stir in half of the shredded cheese mixture. Mix in the whole milk, followed by the salt, creole seasoning, mustard powder, and nutmeg. Evaporated milk? Searched the pantry to no avail. In a large bowl, whisk together mascarpone and evaporated milk until smooth (there may still be some lumps, which are okay). Triple sleepover date, that’s another post. So I pulled out my handy, dandy Joy of Cooking and took a look. I wanted to serve Macaroni and Cheese as a side dish to pulled pork for my kids’ triple sleepover date. I’ve achieved Macaroni and Cheese nirvana or as my son explains, “This is just like the Mac ‘n Cheese you get at a BBQ place.” Bingo! I’ve made a roux and gradually whisked in a careful combination of freshly grated cheeses…the response, “eh.” And I’ve made those luscious mac and cheese casseroles topped with buttered breadcrumbs…underwhelmed, to say the least. On occasion, I had served delicious, gourmet macaroni and cheese, using the best aged Gruyere, to a lukewarm reception.

“Food blogger, cheese lover and now…hypocrite!” Well I’ll tell you, that’s what my kids have clamored for…until now. True confession:Macaroni and cheese at my house tends to be boiled pasta with a jar of Ragu Double Cheddar “cheese” Sauce.
