What is the recipe for sweet tomatoes macaroni and cheese?

What cheeses can I substitute in this Macaroni and Cheese recipe?

  • I really want to make homemade macaroni and cheese. I was having the hardest time finding a suitable recipe, but I like this one: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2007/09/cheesemongers_mac_and_cheese Problem though. I'm a broke college student. I'm not even sure if my local grocery stores have Gruyère or Brie cheeses, let alone if I can afford them. Plus, the people I'm cooking for have the tendency to be picky and I'm not sure how they'd react to foreign-sounding cheeses. Are there any easier-to-find, cheaper cheeses that I can substitute, without compromising the recipe? If not, are there any other similar recipes you recommend? *Thanks!*

  • Answer:

    white Sharp cheddar and shredded mozzarella or Colby, american cheese You can really use any cheese you want if you make a sauce resembling a mornay sauce which is what the recipe in your question calls for. Just follow that same recipe and use the correct amounts of whatever cheese you choose to use The reason you want to make the mornay(ish) sauce is to avoid a mealy texture. The cheese needs to bind with the milk/flower/butter mixture so that it's nice and creamy. Good luck
