Creamy Corn Macaroni and Cheese Casserole
Description
Creamy Corn Macaroni and Cheese Casserole begins by cooking elbow macaroni and rinsing it cold to stop cooking. A roux is made from butter and flour, then milk, cream, and seasonings such as mustard powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper are added and thickened over heat. Sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheeses melt into the sauce to form a creamy base.
Cream-style and drained whole kernel corn are stirred into this sauce along with the pasta, blending sweet corn kernels into the cheesy casserole mixture. The dish is transferred to a prepared pan and baked at 425°F until it bubbles, forming a hot and creamy texture with a mild cheesy flavor highlighted by the sweetness from corn.
This casserole serves well as a comforting side or a vegetarian main dish. It pairs with robust salads or lightly seasoned proteins.
