Once in your baking dish, grate the remaining cheese directly on top of your dish.īefore placing your dish in the oven, be sure to loosely tent your dish so that the cheese neither burns nor sticks to the foil. I used a disposable casserole tray for depth so that it would all fit in one, but you are welcome to divide it into two portions – which would be perfect for freezing half of what you make for dinner another time. Once thoroughly mixed move the macaroni and cheese into your baking dish. Stir, mix, stir, mix, until well blended. Grate about three quarters of the remainder of each cheese block – depending on how cheesy you want your macaroni and cheese, directly into the bowl, add another half a cup of whole milk, and toss in the rest of your pasta. Take your drained pasta and add half of it directly into the mixing bowl with the cheese. Grating half of each package into the bowl – I may have sampled along the way.īy hand toss together the three cheeses to distribute them evenly throughout. Using a large mixing bowl, I grated the cheese as finely as possible to get the most out of it. You’ll want to use all three cheeses for a flavor combination that is out of this world! There is no skimping out on the Smoked Cheddar Blend, Farmhouse Cheddar and Smoked Gouda Blend. In case you are wondering, that’s a stock pot and I loaded it with two pounds of macaroni. Using spiral macaroni allows the cheese to settle into the nooks and crannies of the spiral, adding to the gooeyness of the dish. I am always looking for new ways to recreate my own recipes and by the looks of the three select cheeses in this package, I knew this would be the perfect way to step up my homemade macaroni and cheese recipe. Since there is no wrong way to serve up Hickory Farms cheese, I decided to forgo the classic set up of cheese, sausage, mustards and crackers with a side of wine and dig deeper. Having sampled everything that comes with it I can totally see why it’s the #1 gift.
It all started with what happens to be the Hickory Farms #1 seller, the Hickory Farms Summer Sausage and Cheese Gift Box.
But I can surely show you how to make this delicious macaroni and cheese recipe yourself. This year through my partnership with Hickory Farms, my irresistible homemade macaroni and cheese has received a first class upgrade! I can’t even begin to explain to you the difference the Hickory Farms line of cheese products made in my dish. There is something extremely comforting about all that cheesy goodness that stretches from spiral to spiral as you dig into your plate and scoop out a mouthful. The one food that everyone in our home craves is my homemade macaroni and cheese.
