Light White Baked Mac-n-Cheese

White Baked Mac~N~Cheese, Light

 

I bet everyone has a guilty pleasure and if we ask 10 people, probably half will say it’s mac-n-cheese. This definitely, is a weakness for me. Just like any other guilty pleasure, I make macaroni and cheese only a couple of times a year. Last time I was making it, I decided to make a few lighter choices. It tasted absolutely delicious and I didn’t feel as guilty!

Ingredients:

1/2 lb dry elbow macaroni
1/2 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbs olive oil
1 1/2 tbs flour
2 cups of FF milk
1/2 cup of heavy cream
8 oz Vermont White Cheddar
1 tsp Grey Poupon Mustard
Salt
Fresh cracked peppercorns

Topping:

1/3 cup whole wheat crumbs
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 9×9 casserole dish.

2. Cook the macaroni according to the package. Combine the crumbs and shredded Parmesan cheese, set aside.

3. In a medium pot, on medium heat, heat up the oil and add the chopped onion. Saute until lightly brown.

4. Sprinkle the flour over the onions. Mix the flour and the onion, coating the onions with flour.

5. Slowly start pouring the milk while constantly stirring.

6. Add the heavy cream, mustard, minced garlic, salt and peppercorns. Bring to a low boil, still on medium heat.

7. Grate in the cheese and stir until melted.

8. Add the cooked macaroni, stir well.

9. Transfer into the casserole dish. Top off with crumb/Parmesan mixture and bake for 20 minutes.

Enjoy!!
