Very rich taste and unique twist on an old favorite. Goes quite well served with a grilled steak or chicken breast. A wonderful recipe given to me by my dear friend (and great cook) Amy.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
1 cup whipping cream
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups crumbled blue cheese
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon minced fresh chives, to taste
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350* and butter 13x9 glass baking dish.
2
Cook pasta (about 8 min) and drain.
3
Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium to low heat, then add flour and cook 1 minute stirring constantly (do not allow to brown).
4
Gradually whisk in cream and milk and simmer until mixture thickens slightly, whisking occasionally (about 3 minutes).
5
Reduce heat to low and add grated cheddar cheese and only 1 cup blue cheese.
6
Whisk about 2 minutes or when cheese starts to melt, then flavor with salt and pepper.
7
Add cooked pasta to sauce, stirring to coat, and transfer mixture to 13x9 dish.
8
Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup blue cheese and bake about 25 minutes or until sauce begins to bubble.

I made this because I was craving some blue cheese. Pretty good but needs more blue cheese because I could not taste it at all! (and I used 1 3/4 cups)

For blue cheese addicts like me, it doesn't get any better! I agree with twissis that the nutrition facts are misleading so re-posted with some low-fat modifications: see Please Don't Feel Blue Macaroni & Cheese.

Very rich & tasty is right! This is some of the best "comfort food" I have tasted in a long time & I found myself searching for the 10* rating again! I made a half recipe just as written except I did add about 1/4 cup extra milk when it appeared the mixture might be too dry when baked & it was PERFECT We were hungry & ate heartily, but even a half recipe made more than 4 generous servings. IMO this generously serves at least 8 & surely is part of the reason the Nutrition Facts are startling. TY for sharing this sensational taste treat w/us.
