Mac&Cheese, Anyone?

Two words: comfort food. Yup, Mac and Cheese has always been in my list. The idea of having two of my favorites, cheese and pasta in one dish is just brilliant! So whoever invented this one, I salute you! Here's my modified version of this classic ...


You might ask "Why Cheez Whiz?". Simply because it's way much cheaper than the other sharp cheeses like Gruyere or Bleu cheese. I added some smoked sausages from Earle's for that meaty flavor. Now for the procedure ...


  1. Cook 1/2 kg macaroni according to package directions (should be al dente).
  2. Saute your sliced sausages in olive oil until brown. Set aside.
  3. Heat the evaporated milk (do not boil).
  4. Make a roux out of 2 tbsps of butter and 2 tbsps of flour.
  5. Add the hot milk slowly to the roux and continuously stir the mixture until smooth and thick. Remove from heat.
  6. Add the grated cheddar cheese.
  7. Add the Cheez Whiz. Stir well.
  8. Season with salt, white pepper and nutmeg.
  9. Add the sauce to the prepared pasta.
  10. Add the sausage to the pasta mixture.
  11. Blend in some grated mozzarella cheese.
  12. Put the pasta in a baking pan.
  13. Pop into a 350° oven and bake until the surface turns golden brown.
  14. Voila!
  15. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Best served with Chicken Feuillete from Le Couer de France.
  16. Let your family and friends enjoy your dish (right, Paupau?!). :-P
Try this recipe! :-P
