Macaroni and Cheese with Caramelized Onions and Bacon
Very intense, rich dish due to the sharpness of the cheeses melded with spicy, creamy, and tangy flavors.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 4 cups grated Asiago cheese
  • 4 cups grated Vermont Cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, sliced thin
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ⅛ teaspoon brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground mustard
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, add macaroni and cook for 8 minutes (noodles will still be slightly hard). Drain noodles and transfer to a large bowl with ¼ cup of butter and toss to coat. Whisk together the sour cream, egg, and cream cheese; add to the pasta and mix well. Stir in 3 cups of grated Asiago and 3 cups of grated Cheddar cheese, reserving the remaining 2 cups of cheese for the topping.
  2. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate and chop into small pieces.
  3. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  4. Stir 2 tablespoons butter, the onion, and garlic into the bacon drippings in the pan and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes until the onions are very soft and golden brown. Mix the cooked bacon, parsley, and panko breadcrumbs into the onions, transfer mixture to a small bowl and set aside.
  5. Return the skillet to the heat and melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour, and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk the milk into the flour mixture and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Stir in the ground mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Remove sauce from heat and let cool for five minutes.
  6. Pour the sauce over the macaroni mixture, stirring well. Transfer to a greased 9x13 inch pan and sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups of Cheddar cheese. Top cheese with the onion breadcrumb mixture.
  7. Bake in preheated oven until bubbling, hot and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.

Grilled Salmon with Lemon-Sesame Sauce

Grilled Salmon with Lemon-Sesame Sauce
For this lemony grilled salmon recipe, you absolutely want to cook fish that still has its skin on. It protects the fish while it grills and, despite what you think or have been told, will help it release from the grill grates more easily.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 4 6-oz. skin-on salmon fillets, pin bones removed, patted dry
  • 2 Tbsp. plus ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 small lemon
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp. black sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • ½ tsp. toasted sesame oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup torn basil leaves
Instructions
  1. Prepare a grill for medium heat. Rub salmon with 2 Tbsp. olive oil; season both sides with salt.
  2. Cut ends off lemon and discard. Place lemon upright and slice off outer lobes in 4 sections, leaving a square-shaped core and seeds behind. Finely chop lobes (flesh, pith, and all) and transfer to a small bowl (you should have about ⅓ cup). Squeeze out juice from core over bowl. Add shallot, sesame seeds, honey, sesame oil, and remaining ⅓ cup olive oil; season with salt and lots of pepper. Toss to combine.
  3. Clean and oil grate, then immediately place salmon on grill skin side down. Cover grill and cook, skin side down the entire time, until skin is lightly charred and fish is opaque, 6–8 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate and let cool slightly.
  4. Divide salmon among plates. Top with basil. Spoon lemon-sesame sauce over.

Pull Apart Pizza Bread Recipe

Pull Apart Pizza Bread Recipe
This recipe starts with a can of biscuits to make assembly a breeze. The process is very similar to Monkey Bread, but with an Italian twist. Start by cutting the biscuits into quarters. Toss them in a mixture of mozzarella, pepperoni, Parmesan, basil, parsley, and oregano. The biscuit dough pieces are then transferred to a greased Bundt pan and baked in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. To remove the bread, let it rest for 5 minutes after taking it out of the oven. Invert it onto a platter and garnish with an extra dusting of Parmesan and fresh basil. Use your favorite store-bought marinara as a dipping sauce. Pull-Apart Pizza Bread makes the ideal nibble for Super Bowl parties. It’s warm, filling, and comes together in no time. Your favorite fans will be drooling once they smell this savory bread wafting from the oven.
