Cheese???

So I am making PW mac and cheese for T-day and it calls for like a pound of cheese. I really prefer mixing my cheeses when making mac. Any combo suggestions??

Re: Cheese???

  • I've never met a cheese I didn't like :) I usually mix something creamy (like brie or havarti) with something a little more sharp (like manchego or gruyere) in my mac and cheese. Occasionally I'll top it with a little bit of something super sharp (a stilton or Dubliner.)

    My name is amanjay, and I have a serious cheese addiction. Far too much of our grocery money is spent at  Forward Foods and Trader Joes (I make it to the St. Louis one on my way back from visiting my parents at least twice a year) on cheese. Embarrassed

     Seriously, though, whenever I don't finish a block of cheese, I shread and freeze the little leftover bits in a freezer bag and then use them in my mac and cheese. I don't think you can mess up the pairings with mac and cheese, but it is important to have something kind of creamy as an initial base. Otherwise you won't get that good smooth, melty consistency.

     

  • Thanks for the advice! I really want a gooey yet creamy Mac!

  • And (in what should perhaps be my real FFFC,) velveeta or kraft singles will work beautifully in a pinch as the creamy element. There you go. Take away my foodie card. Embarrassed
  • I've used Velveeta for the creamy part of mac and cheese, too ;) Along with Gruyere, Cheddar, Monterrey Jack, Parmesan (the real stuff), and Gorgonzola. I've yet to meet a mac and cheese I've made that I didn't like.

    My favorite is BLT mac and cheese--regular creamy base with Gruyere but with bacon, tomatoes, and sauteed leeks. Yum.
