Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Salt To Taste
  • 1/2 cup Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 6 ounces Shredded Land O Lakes Processed Cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon White Ground Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 1/2 cups Cooked Barilla Macaroni Pasta

Instructions
 

Prepare Barilla Macaroni Pasta:

  • Cook Barilla Macaroni Pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Shred Land O Lakes Processed Cheese:

  • Shred the Land O Lakes Processed Cheese into fine pieces. The processed cheese adds a creamy texture to the mac and cheese.

Combine Cheeses:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded Land O Lakes Processed Cheese and Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese. This combination creates a flavorful and gooey cheese base for the mac and cheese.

Heat Heavy Whipping Cream:

  • In a saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy whipping cream until it is just heated through. Be careful not to bring it to a boil.

Melt Cheeses in Cream:

  • Gradually add the combined shredded cheeses to the warm heavy whipping cream, stirring continuously. Allow the cheeses to melt into a smooth and creamy consistency.

Season with White Ground Pepper and Garlic Powder:

  • Stir in the white ground pepper and garlic powder to enhance the flavor profile of the cheese sauce. Adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences.

Salt to Taste:

  • Add salt to the cheese sauce, tasting as you go. Adjust the salt according to your preference. Remember that the Land O Lakes Processed Cheese may already contribute some saltiness.

Combine Cheese Sauce with Cooked Pasta:

  • Pour the cheese sauce over the cooked Barilla Macaroni Pasta. Gently fold the pasta into the sauce, ensuring that each macaroni is coated with the creamy cheese mixture.

Serve Warm:

  • Transfer the mac and cheese to a serving dish and serve it while warm. The creamy and cheesy texture is best enjoyed when served fresh.

Optional – Bake for a Crispy Top (If Desired):

  • If you prefer a crispy top, you can transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish and broil it in the oven for a few minutes until the top is golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Your Souplantation Mac And Cheese is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it as a delightful side or a comforting main dish. The combination of creamy cheeses and perfectly cooked pasta makes for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • – Use good quality cheese: The choice of cheese is crucial in this recipe. Invest in high-quality Land O Lakes Processed Cheese and Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese to get the best flavor and consistency.
  • – Opt for al dente pasta: Cook the macaroni pasta until it is al dente, as it will continue to cook in the oven. This will prevent the noodles from becoming mushy.
  • – Don’t forget the whipping cream: The addition of heavy whipping cream is what gives this mac and cheese its rich and creamy texture. Don’t skip this ingredient!
  • – Spice it up: Adjust the amount of white ground pepper and garlic powder according to your taste preferences. If you like it spicier, feel free to add a little more.
  • – Let it rest before serving: Allow the mac and cheese to cool for a few minutes after baking. This will help it set and become easier to serve.
