I created a new macaroni and cheese recipe in a nod to cornbread stuffing. It has cornbread pieces on the top and bottom.

Ingredients

4 cups baked cornbread pieces, divided
7 ounces dry elbow macaroni
1/4 cup margarine
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 banana peppers, chopped

How To Make cornbread crusted macaroni and cheese

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

Coat the bottom and sides of a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Add 2 cups cornbread pieces evenly and press down with a wooden spoon.
Step 3

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the elbow macaroni in the boiling water and stir occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
Step 4

Melt the margarine in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Stir the flour into melted the margarine and cook until smooth and bubbling, about 1 minute.
Step 5

Mix the heavy cream, milk, cream cheese, chopped banana peppers, honey mustard, onion powder and sea salt/black pepper into the flour-margarine mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cheeses.
Step 6

Add the cooked macaroni into the sauce; mix well. Pour into a prepared baking dish.
Step 7

Top with the remaining cornbread pieces over the macaroni and cheese.
Step 8

Bake until golden brown for 20 minutes.
