How to Make Macaroni And Blue Cheese
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch glass baking dish.
- Cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups heavy cream and 1 cup milk. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 cup crumbled blue cheese. Whisk for 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring gently to coat completely. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and lightly golden brown.
- Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives before serving. Enjoy!
