We're making another appearance on our favorite local morning show, Good Day Columbus, tomorrow on Columbus TV station, Fox28. If you're in the central Ohio area, watch for us between 7am and 9am Thursday morning. Today, we're excited to give our blog readers a sneak peek at what we'll be making.
Earlier today, we asked about your favorite comfort food on our Page on Facebook. For MANY of you, mac & cheese is your all-time favorite and we couldn't agree more! In tomorrow's TV segment, we're sharing THREE fun takes on this creamy, cheesy comfort food.
The first comes from our bestselling photo book, 101 Easy Entertaining Recipes, and it's sure to be a new party (and snack!) standard.
Mac & Cheese Nuggets
1/4 c. grated Parmesan
cheese, divided
1-1/2 T. butter
2 T. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. milk
1-1/4 c. shredded
Cheddar cheese
1/4 lb. American
cheese slices,
chopped
1 egg yolk, beaten
1/4 t. paprika
8-oz. pkg. elbow
macaroni, cooked
Lightly grease mini muffin cups. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, tapping out excess. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour; cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk until boiling, about 5 minutes. Add Cheddar and American cheeses; remove from heat and stir until smooth. Whisk in egg yolk and paprika; fold in macaroni until well coated. Spoon rounded tablespoons of mixture into prepared tins; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Bake at 425 degrees until hot and golden, about 10 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes; carefully transfer to a serving plate. Makes 4 dozen.
