Ingredients
- Unsalted butter, room temperature, or vegetable oil, for baking dish 6 ounces short pasta, such as fusilli or penne 2 cups Beecher’s Flagship Cheese Sauce 1 ounce cheddar cheese, grated (1/4 cup) 1 ounce Gruyere cheese, grated (1/4 cup) 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chipotle-chile powder
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter or oil an 8-inch baking dish; set aside.
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions. Drain into a colander and rinse under cold water until cool, then drain again.
Stir together pasta and cheese sauce until well combined. Pour into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with cheeses and chile powder. Bake, uncovered, until lightly browned in places, about 20 minutes. Let stand at least 5 minutes before serving.
Cook’s Notes This dish can easily be doubled and baked in a 2-quart baking dish. The baking time is the same.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 10/05/2017 This recipe goes well as a side for chicken,but you can also add bacon and mushrooms and you have a main course. Very good! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/27/2014 I liked it better then the recipe I was using but it seemed like it needed more pasta then it called for. I will make again but next time with more pasta Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/11/2013 I hope someone is monitoring this site. I made this recipe to tonight. I did add pancetta. I thought it was very good . My husband commented the sauce was gritty. I noticed as well why? I cooked the roux 2 min minimum. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/17/2013 Where do I find recipe for Beecher's Flagship Cheese Sauce? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/16/2013 This was sooooo good. I made the cheese sauce and couldn't stop licking the spoon. I wouldn't change a thing. Just make it and enjoy. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/30/2012 You don't have to buy full packages of expensive cheese, your deli can make a fat slice of anything for you for much less cost, then you can grate it. The important thing is to buy a good quality. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 07/07/2012 Yum! This is by far the world's best mac and cheese! I added bread crumbs and used a chipotle taco seasoning because I could not find chipotle chile powder and it was amazing. I think this recipe would be great with ham or chicken added as well. I have tried many mac and cheese recipes and this is definitely my favorite so far! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/13/2011 I haven't tried this yet, I'm too loyal to Martha's "Perfect mac"--but just had to LOL at all of the snippy comments happening below. Ladies, ladies--simmer down. =) Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/17/2010 77chocolateangel - toot your own horn some place else. your husbands "taste" is unknown and questionable! and to all you little cooks out there - it's ROUX not RUE. it's french, like mirepoix and chiffonade. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 10/12/2010 This was the greatest Mac and Cheese I've ever had in my life. Dear Martha Stewart, Thank you for existing and sharing this glorious recipe with the world. I'm a better person for eating it! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/20/2008 This was awesome. Ny kids loved it. Easy to make and the blend of cheeses made it rich with taste. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/13/2008 This was really good mac and cheese. The grueyre makes it much more flavorful. I got the cheese at the local grocery store for a much less expensive dinner. The Rue is in the cheese sauce recipe if you click on "Beecher's Flagship Cheese Sauce" Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 05/16/2008 ok. the recipe is missing the rue thing..the butter,flour and milk. i'm sure you can substitute your favorite cheese. $18 for a pound of cheese is ridiculous!! i don't care who or what makes it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/25/2008 I just came back from Seattle this past weekend and had the opportunity to visit Beecher's. I tried their worlds best mac and cheese. To tell you the truth my husband and I had better. We found it extremely oily and the pasta over cooked. In fact my husband said my mac and cheese is better. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/04/2008 www.beechershandmadecheese.com/ You can buy it...It's $17.95 a pound. Sounds sinful... Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/30/2008 Where in Canada? If you're in Victoria or Vancouver area, when you pop down to Seattle you can pick up his cheese @ Pike Street Market. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/29/2008 Beechers mac Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/29/2008 Ladies, click on Beechers Flagship Cheese sauce in ingredients list above and you'll get the recipe to make at home. Can't buy it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/29/2008 Is Flagship Cheese a brand as Kraft is a brand? If so would it be old aka sharp? I live in Canada and have never heard of Flagship Cheese. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 01/29/2008 I work in the market and have the pleasure of having this mac and cheese once in a while. It's decadent and WONDERFUL! Beechers is amazing! They have spicy and regular and I get half and half, it's amazing. if you're around you MUST try it out!
