Mac-n-Cheese redo
I know I have already posted this recipe before. But I love it so much I felt the need to share it again. This is what we had for dinner tonight. I realize there are a few ingredients, but the base is the cream and the cheese. You can even switch out the cheeses if you don’t have all of them. That’s what I love about this recipe you can really make it your own. Don’t have snow peas, then use asparagus or green beans. It is a best seller at the Green Well one of my favorite spots to eat out. It is consistently yummy there. Even though I make it at home, I still order it there. If I don’t order it and somebody else does be sure that my fork will be coming in the direction of their plate. It is so good.
4 slices of bacon fried up crunchy
2 cups of the roasted chicken (I personally like the dark meat its more flavorful)
2 big cloves of garlic minced
2 cups of mini bella mushrooms (or what ever you have on hand) sliced
2 cups snow peas
1 cup whole cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil chopped OR 1tsp dry basil
1 tsp fresh thyme OR 1/2 tsp dry thyme
1/2 tsp pepper
***I didn’t use any salt, because I think the ham and bacon are salty enough but if you are a salty person go for it!
1 cup of heavy cream
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese shredded
1/2 cup sharp cheddar shredded
1/2 cup swiss cheese shredded
1/3 of a brick of cream cheese
1/2 box cavatappi pasta (any big ridged pasta would work, you want it to grab onto that sauce!)
Oh, my…we NEED to do all the classes tonight @ the Y if this is what you enjoyed for dinner. Have any leftovers? YUM.
