Truffled Mac and Cheese

 macncheese3.jpg

You’d think that after all of the rich food I ate over Thanksgiving that I’d be subsisting on carrots and celery through December. Instead, last night I decided that Mac and Cheese would be a more appropriate meal and Kraft just wasn’t going to cut it.  I used this recipe and substituted Horseradish Cheddar and added some truffle salt for a little bite and an indulgent touch.  My tastes have changed a lot since when I was a kid, but comfort food never gets old.

Oh.My.Gosh. I want some !!!! How come no one knows Mac and Cheese in France ?! We have macaroni, and we definitely have cheese ! But no Mac and Cheese. Ha. I’m craving it now.

I LOVE mac & cheese, in all of its forms! In the box, from the grocer’s freezer, homemade, etc. etc. The best thing about the homemade kind though is that it gets that lovely crust on the top — so good! I’ll have to try this recipe the next time I’m in the mood for some!

You’ve made many recipes on this site….many that I have tried on my own…but this is the first one that made me lick my screen at work.

35 Jocelyn Stott { 12.01.09 at 10:15 am }

That sounds totally amazing. I too seem to be stuck in the comfort food phase as last night I made shepherds pie after swearing I was going to take a week off from carbs. Ahh well.

36 Nicole Marie { 12.01.09 at 10:23 am }

43 fat mum slim { 12.01.09 at 12:44 pm }

Oh that looks a whole lotta naughty, and a VERY scrumptious.

I just wanted to let you know that I put up a thing on my blog today about your tutorials. I hope it’s okay, but of course if it isn’t please just let me know and I’ll take it down. xx

Don’t you just love Ina Garten’s recipes? I’ve never had a bad one in many years of trying them.
Just discovered your blog and think it’s fantastic, by the way.

62 Amanda { 12.02.09 at 11:15 am }

My girlfriend is making “grown up”, ie. not kraft, mac and cheese for a girls weekend and didn’t have a recipe. I gave her this one and I cannot wait to try it, it looks sinful! Thank you for posting!

63 Lyndsy { 12.02.09 at 5:47 pm }

Oh my goodness! This looks incredible and adding truffle salt is pure brilliance! Thanks for the idea!

64 Le 21eme Arrondissement { 12.02.09 at 8:14 pm }

You could put Truffle oil on a piece of cardboard and I’d eat it. Truffles = 10/10!

67 caitlindentino { 12.03.09 at 12:19 pm }

I love mac and cheese and when i don’t want to be quite so indulgent, I do a cauliflower gratin. I just may have to use horseradish cheddar next time, or truffle salt - or both - yum! What great substitutions… Thanks!
