Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare stuffing or warm stuffing leftovers. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside. In a large pot on the stovetop over medium heat, melt the remaining 1/2 cup butter. Once the butter is melted, add in the shallots and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in the flour and whisk together until the raw flour smell dissipates and it forms a paste, about 2 minutes. Season the paste with salt and pepper. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Only add in a few splashes at a time to ensure the flour mixes in properly. Slowly pour in the chicken stock, whisking constantly, until it is fully incorporated into the mixture. Stir in 10 oz of the cheese, mixing until it is nearly melted. Add in the prepared noodles, stirring to fully incorporate. Pour the mac and cheese into the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and top with remaining cheese and the stuffing topping. Cover the baking dish with tin foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the tinfoil and continue baking until golden brown and bubbling at the edges, about 15 minutes. Serve warm. |
