macaroni and cheese with ritz cracker topping

Serve as delicious toppings for both sliders and macaroni cheese. Put the bacon, caramelized onions and crumbled gorgonzola into separate bowls. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute or until mixture is smooth. In a separate pan, cook the onions in the butter over a low heat until caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the pan and cut into bite-size pieces. Serve immediately (while it's still very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese and bake until bubbly and golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.įry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until slightly crisp, about 8 minutes. Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed! DO NOT UNDERSALT. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and the pepper. Pour the egg into the sauce, whisking constantly.

Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Pour in the milk, add the mustard and whisk until smooth. Can be made 6-8 hours in advance, but, do not refrigerate. Using your fingertips, massage the bag until butter is evenly incorporated into the still-loose cracker crumbs. Pour the butter into the bag of cracker crumbs. In the baking dish evenly combine the cooked pasta, langostino tails, and cheese sauce. In a 1-cup measuring container, melt the butter in the microwave. Cook for a couple of minutes, whisking constantly. Also, prepare the Ritz cracker topping by combining 1 C of smashed Ritz Crackers with 3 Tbsp of melted butter. In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Cook the macaroni until still slightly firm.
