Field Day Macaroni and Cheese
Recipe modified by Mark/W2PAW from one from Alton Brown (he probably wouldn't approve)
retrieved 08Jul2015 from http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/baked-macaroni-and-cheese...
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon powdered mustard
3 cups milk
1/2 cup yellow onion, minced
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 pound of real American Cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
Fresh black pepper
Topping:
6 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup panko bread crumbs
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the pasta al dente and strain. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the butter, and mix in the flour and mustard as if making a white roux. Add the milk, onion and paprika.
Scramble an egg in a separate bowl, and then add some of the roux, a tablespoon at a time, to the egg while mixing. You're trying to "temper" the egg. You don't want bits of cooked scrambled egg in the sauce, you want to slowly dilute the egg while warming it up. When you've added about 2x the volume of the sauce to the egg and mixed everything you can then combine the two together. Add the salt and pepper.
Now start adding the American cheese, a bit at a time, while mixing. When all the cheese slices are in and incorporated, start adding the pasta. Then pour the mixture out into baking trays. It will look like too much cheese sauce, but it gets thicker when you bake it without a lid. Leave some room for the topping.
One batch yields almost 2 quarts. For Field Day I 4x the recipe and use pans that total about 7 or 8 quarts.
Add the sharp cheddar on top of the macaroni sauce.
Melt the remaining butter in a pan and add the bread crumbs. Mix, then put this on top of the sharp cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes, then broil maybe half a minute more if the topping looks like it could use it. Watch the broiling very closely. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
