With graduation right around the corner, this means that graduation parties are right around the corner too. So if you’re looking for some delicious dishes to serve up at your party then I have the recipe just for you! It’s my husband Mark’s homemade macaroni and cheese dish or what our daughter calls, ‘Daddy’s Homemade Mac & Cheese!’
Now ‘Daddy’s Homemade Mac & Cheese’ would not be complete without being made with Real California Milk and Cheese.
Do you know that California is the number one dairy state in the US, producing more milk, butter, and ice cream than any other state and it is the 2nd largest producer of cheese too?! Moreover, many California dairy products are sold nationally and 99% of California dairies are family-owned as well.
Also, California is the country’s leading producer of Hispanic dairy products. There are more than 25 varieties and styles of Hispanic-style cheeses bearing the Real California Cheese seal, which certifies that they are natural cheeses made in California exclusively from California milk.
So now that you know all the great reasons to buy Real California Cheese and Milk, here’s the delectable recipe for ‘Daddy’s Homemade Mac & Cheese!’
- Cook pasta and drain, setting aside 1/4 cup pasta water.
- Make a roux of the butter and flour.
- Slowly stir in milk, pasta water, grated onion, salt and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes, then add cheeses, setting aside 1 cup for topping.
- Stir in pasta and mix well.
- Pour into greased pan, top with remaining cheese and breadcrumb and cook for 45 mins at 350 degrees.
- Enjoy!
