Like a lot of cooks, you probably tweak recipes slightly to suit your family's tastes and diets. A little extra spice here... sub low-fat sour cream there...
When you create your own version of a Tablespoon.com recipe, you're doing the same thing. The only difference? You're recording your changes.
So next time you want to make that chicken parmesan everybody loved so much, you'll be able to view exactly what you changed. Plus, you can share your recipe so others can try it too.
Pretty nifty, huh?

In a large pot, add equal parts water & chicken broth. (Just enough to cook your macaroni in) Bring to a boil.
Add macaroni and cook until al dente. About 7-8 minutes (look on back of the box for the cooking time and set your timer so that you don't overcook it) When macaroni is done, drain and set aside
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter & whisk in the flour. Cook for about a minute. Whisking the entire time.
Slowly whisk in 1 cup chicken broth, half n half, & milk. Whisk until combined. You want the mixture to steam but NOT boil. Adjust your heat accordingly.
Add in the cream cheese & stir until completely dissolved and smooth.
Remove from heat & add in 4 cups of cheese & stir until smooth.
Pour cheese mixture over cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Add some black pepper if you'd like.
Grease a 9 X 9 inch pan with butter & pour the mac n cheese into it.
Top with sharp cheddar cheese and paprika.
Bake in preheat 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. You want the macaroni & cheese to be sort of jiggly when you take it out. It will set as it cools. Do not over cook.

We prepared this dish as a side on Christmas Day. It was delicious and very well received. The picky/outspoken grandson gave it a firm thumbs-up! The left-overs were tussled over. Having won a serving I can attest that the Mac and Cheez was even better the second day. The cheeses we used were sharp cheddar and gouda with loads of parmesian. The cream cheese was a tangy addition as well. This recipe will join our list of Christmas Dishes.
