Mac 'n Cheese

[jumpuphigh]

I've been craving good, homemade mac 'n cheese.  Does anybody have a recipe that they like?  Use of goat cheese a plus but not a necessity.

Thanks!

You rock for this request idea. Mac'n'cheese is my all time favorite food. Okay, so my favorite recipe is here:

I'm vegetarian so I omit the sausage. I use a dry white wine instead of broth, which I very highly recommend. I also really recommend doing extra cheese on top for gooey meltiness. You can use any cheeses you like. For example, I've tried it with 1/2 cup each mozzarella, parm, havarti, and fontina. I've also used a really strong (stinky) Danish cheese and it was just out of this freaking world. I'm sure goat would work with a mixture of cheeses.

Ok, I've made this recipe twice. It is now my go-to recipe for mac 'n cheese. I still haven't managed to remember to pick up some wine for it but with veggie broth, it works great. I've used rice milk instead of cow/goat's milk both times and that has been great as well. This week I played with the cheeses a little more and included some herbed goat cheese. Oh, so good. I omit the sausage and the onions as well. Next time, I think I might try onions and add sliced mushrooms just to see how that turns out.

I may be addicted. I'm ok with that.

Yay! Always happy to pass someone else on to favorite recipes :-D I may see if it works with soy cheese since I've developed lactose intolerance, but that seems so wrong.

Soy cheese doesn't melt right but if you can find brown rice cheese, that does. I also enjoy almond cheese. I'm less reactive to raw cheese (not appropriate for mac 'n cheese) and goat's cheese.
