This ain't no boxed mac and cheese! With chives and lots of good white cheddar, you'll end up with a delectable dish that isn't gooey at all. It's just bursting with flavor!

Ingredients
  • 3/4 box elbow macaroni noodles
  • 2 T butter
  • 2 T flour
  • 1/2 cup fresh cut chives
  • chili powder (dash)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • either dried mustard or a little Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 cup WHOLE milk
  • 1 cup of shredded white cheddar cheese (use the best stuff you can find, like Tillamook, to make this really decadent)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup plain bread crumbs

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 and butter a 9x9 glass dish.
  2. Boil the elbow pasta and drain.
  3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter. When it is just hot (NOT BROWN!) add the chives and sauté for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the flour/chili powder/mustard/salt/pepper and mix well, getting out all the lumps and stir for 3 minutes. (Just a dash of all of those seasonings.)
  5. SLOWLY add the first 1/2 cup milk, mixing like crazy until it's smooth and NO lumps. When it's a nice glossy uniform sauce, add another 1/2 cup milk, repeat. Add the rest of the milk and mix well so it's not lumpy.
  6. Stir constantly for 10 minutes or so, until the mixture is smooth and reduced. Remove from heat, add most of the cheese, mix well.
  7. Add the sour cream, mix well.
  8. Pour into dish, cover with remaining cheese and bread crumbs.
  9. Cook for 30 minutes until it's brown and bubbling and looks like the yummiest thing you've ever laid eyes on. Let it sit 5 minutes before serving...if you can stand it!
  10. This recipe can easily be doubled.

We enjoyed this! It's nice to find one with white cheddar, too. I think next time I'll double the sauce and add some diced ham as sdjackson mentioned. Good recipe!
