I got an email from Carnation Milk telling me about some recipes on their site, so I took a look and decided to try their Mac and Cheese recipe. It's pretty simple, but quite rich. It says it serves 6.......I don't think so, 3 adults yes, maybe four with a salad and some garlic bread.
Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked macaroni or rotini pasta
1 can (370ml) Evaporated milk
3 tbsp All purpose/plain flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard, I didn't have dry, so just used a squirt of regular mustard
1/4 cup light cream cheese (I just used regular)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
black pepper (optional)
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside. Put flour in pan, and whisk in a little of the milk, to make a paste. Slowly add the rest of the milk, whisking all the time.
Add the salt, mustard and the cream cheese and continue whisking until all mixed in, and thickened. I cut the cream cheese into little pieces to make it easier to mix in.
Remove from heat, stir in cheddar cheese until melted.
Stir pasta into cheese sauce.
Serve immediately.

Thanks for the comments on my blog!
Not good for the waistline but excellent for the gourmet!! I just love Macaroni Cheese! (And cauliflour Cheese too.)
That looks delicious!
I make something similar. I'll have to keep this ingredient list and try it, soon!
that looks so good. thanks for posting. i'm going to have to go wander around the carnation site for more recipes.
Calorie wise I would say probably a zillion!!! However it won't kill you to have it every once in a while!! We too are big fans of cauliflower with cheese sauce.
