Cooking time: 30 minutes

 

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 cups Hoyne Dark Matter
• 3 tbsp butter
• 4 tbsp flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 cup shredded aged cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 lb macaroni or fusilli
• 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp olive oil

 

Step 1

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter
on low heat. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

 

Step 2

Add the milk and beer, and stir until the mixture starts to thicken. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder and mustard. Stir to combine and remove from heat.

 

Step 3

Immediately after removing from heat, stir in your grated cheeses, one at a time, until melted and smooth. Pour over cooked drained pasta and stir until combined.

 

Step 4

Over medium heat, sauté the breadcrumbs in olive oil. Keep stirring until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.

 

Step 5

Dish up your creamy mac and cheese, and top with the crispy breadcrumbs. Serve with an ice-cold glass of Hoyne Dark Matter.
