We love Mac and Cheese at our house. I just love excellent cheese so when I saw this on Yahoo news today I had to copy it. I am posting at the request of some of my friends here at JAP. Hope you will try it. I don't have access to this brand of cheese and won't pay to have it shipped but I will try it with some of the excellent cheeses made in my area.

How To Make beecher's "world's best" mac & cheese

  • 1
    To prepare sauce, melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and whisk in the flour.
  • 2
    Continue whisking and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly. Cook until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
  • 3
    Add cheeses, salt, chili powder and garlic powder. Stir until cheese is melted and all ingredients are incorporated, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • 4
    Preheat oven to 350F. Butter or oil an 8-inch baking dish. Cook penne 2 minutes less than package directions. (It will finish cooking in the oven.) Rinse pasta in cold water and drain well.
  • 5
    Combine pasta and sauce in a medium bowl; mix carefully but thoroughly. Scrape the pasta into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle top with cheeses and then the chili powder.
  • 6
    Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
