This post will be short and sweet. World Cup fever has taken me hostage and I wanted to share this dish while still keeping my eyes glued to one of the most exciting tournaments in the world. I guess as an American- being a sport fan is quite natural and I’ve loved it my whole life, but moving to England has opened my eyes to the world of football (or soccer- it almost pains me to call it that now!). Of course, I’ve got an embedded hope that Team USA will pull it off and English doubt that England will get out of the group rounds, but I will be watching with fingers crossed! Who are you cheering on this time? Any predictions? Shout it out in the comments!
But, on to the reason you’re here, the food. This Mac & Cheese I saw on Martha Stewart. It’s John Legend’s recipe and I was drawn in by the choice in including evaporated milk in the recipe. I’ve never tried it before, so thought it was worth a shot. It made a very delicious, almost custardy cheese filling, which makes the dish incredibly satisfying. The cheese on top bakes to crispy perfection and creates a contrast in texture that the usual breadcrumb topping might provide in other versions. It’s a great dish to take to a party as it can be reheated in the oven quickly after transport. Perfect for a World Cup party perhaps?
