{Katie’s Kitchen} The BEST Baked Mac & Cheese
Brought to you by Stroup Flooring America
I took this recipe to my family’s Easter party and everyone loved it and went back for seconds! I even doubled the recipe. Don’t be shocked at the amount of cheese that goes into this recipe…it’s totally worth it.
Start out – Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a large 3 qt or 4 qt baking dish and set aside.Combine shredded cheeses in a large bowl and set aside.
Then, cook your pasta. I used jumbo elbow noodles. Cook about one minute shy of al dente according to the package instructions. Drain, and place in a large bowl.
Drizzle pasta with olive oil and stir to coat pasta. Set aside to cool while preparing cheese sauce.
Melt butter in a deep dutch oven or pot. Then, Whisk in flour over medium heat and continue whisking for about 1 minute until bubbly and golden. Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream until nice and smooth. Continue whisking until you see bubbles on the surface and then continue cooking and whisking for another 2 minutes. Add in salt and pepper.
Now…here comes the cheese!!! Add two cups of shredded cheese and whisk until smooth. Add another two cups of shredded cheese and continue whisking until creamy and smooth. Sauce should be nice and thick. Stir in the cooled pasta until combined and pasta is fully coated with the cheese sauce. Pour half of the mac and cheese into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining 2 cups of shredded cheese and then the remaining mac and cheese.
In a small bowl, combine panko crumbs, Parmesan cheese, melted butter and paprika. Sprinkle over the top and bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy.
note: I did substitute cheeses and used what I had in the fridge- cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack.
Ingredients: I got the recipe here
- 16 oz elbow macaroni, cooked (or other tubular pasta)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 cups Gruyere cheese shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups panko crumbs
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
House of the Week – 05/03/19
Country Baby Boomers of 2019
Seems like every single week there’s a new country music baby comin’ around. Whether a country star just had their baby or they are due this year…Let’s make a full list shall we? Honestly, by the time I post this I bet you another country music couple will announce they’re pregnant. See my most up to date list below in no particular order!
First up, Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher kicked off the year of 2019 with another baby boy named Jacob Bryan following his now big brother Isaiah.
Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany Aldean welcomed Navy Rome into the world on Monday, February 4th. She also has a big brother, Memphis who has completely swooned the Instagram world.

Sup everybody……. guess who is gonna be a BIG brother! #thisdude #aldeanpartyof6
Tyler Hubbard (Florida Georgia Line) and his wife Hayley Hubbard also announced their soon to be baby boy due mid August. Hayley showed off her growing baby bump at the Billboard Music Awards this week. This will be their second child together after having Olivia. Hayley posted the sweetest video of Olivia spotting her, “Dada,” on the TV at the award show. Check it out:
Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn Brown just finished celebrating being newly weds, which then lead to a baby announcement! Well phew, didn’t that happen quick. Initially, Katelyn wanted to wait until she was closer to 30 to start having children but the universe works in mysterious ways and they couldn’t be happier. Kane fully supported her wanting to wait but is over the moon excited about being a Dad. They revealed the gender of the soon to be baby girl at the Billboard Music Awards. KB2 will soon become KB3.
Brantley Gilbert and his wife Amber will be welcoming a baby girl this September! Little Barrett Gilbert is going to be a big brother. After struggling to conceive for two years they were blessed with Barrett and both were convinced their second child would be a boy as well. Well, surprise! Brantley now admits that he’s absolutely terrified.
Jake Owen and girlfriend Erica Hartlein announced their pregnancy this passed Thanksgiving 2018, due in early May…..OH WAIT the baby was born 3 days ago….April 29th, named Paris Hartley Owen. Jake Owen’s first baby girl six-year-old Pearl, is so excited to be a big sister.
It's a Willie great day!!
Well Happy Birthday to @WillieNelson born on this day April 29th, 1933.
Also, happy birthday to my little beautiful daughter, Paris Hartley Owen born today April 29th, 2019.#GodIsGreat

Dylan Scott and wife Blair are expecting their second (surprise) baby girl in September as well. So who knows, maybe their baby and Brantley Gilbert’s baby can be friends? They also already have a one-year-old son named Beckett. Dylan was touring when Blair called and said, “Hey, I want to have another kid.” Dylan answered, “I think you’re crazy, Beckett’s not even one year old yet.” Lastly Blair replied, “Well, it happened already.” Leave it to them to keep romance alive!
Lastly, but certainly not least…the Stapletons. Chris and Morgane Stapleton a.k.a. the baby gods. Chris: winner of what feels like a million ACMs and soon to be father of five. Baby number five is due any minute now it seems. They are not going to find out the sex of the baby. They want to be surprised. Morgane had their twins and seven months later Chris made the announcement that she was pregnant again in November 2018. Chris is a very private person especially when it comes to their kids, which anyone can respect. So you won’t be seeing pictures of them on social media. Baby bump showing at the ACMs:
