To all my “When Calls The Heart” fans out there, this is in honor of little Jack! That cute little guy had to play quite the serious role this season, and he did a great job! We are all so happy to see his character thriving, so this is for you little Jack! Unlike most Mac and cheese recipes, this one has three varieties of “Jack” cheese, and topped with cheesy biscuits, which is definitely an item that is frequently consumed at the Cafe in Hope Valley.
Ingredients:
-2 cups of macaroni (any shape)
-2 cups milk
-2 tablespoons salted butter
-3 tablespoons flour
-salt and pepper
-1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
-1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
-1 cup shredded Cheddar Jack cheese
-1 box cheese biscuit mix (I like the Red Lobster brand).
-Extra 1/2 cup shredded cheese of choice for biscuits
Directions:
Start by cooking the noodles and pour into a 9X13 baking dish.
In a medium sized pot, melt butter. Then add flour and create a paste.
Very slowly add the milk while whisking until you get a thicker consistency.
Lower the heat, and add the three cups of shredded cheese variations. Stir until melted. Add salt and pepper.
Pour and stir into cooked noodles in the baking dish. Let sit a few minutes.
Make cheesy biscuits according to box directions.
Pour small dollops of milk in some open pockets of the Mac and cheese, then dollop biscuit dough all over the top. Cover with more shredded cheese of your choice.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes until the biscuits are fully cooked on top. Let cool a bit before serving, Enjoy!
