Can the world stand one more mac and cheese recipe? I think so, yes. Especially this one that is made with THREE cheeses, and the finest butter and cheese money can buy. Yes, it may be a costly dish but aren't you and your family worth it? At least now and then? Splurge a little! Recipe & photo: Kroger.inspiredgathering.com 02-11-15

How To Make irish macaroni and cheese

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.

Step 2

Melt 3 Tbsp. Kerrygold butter. Add flour and whisk over medium heat.
Step 3

Pour in milk slowly. Whisk well until incorporated and smooth. It will be thick at first. Add cayenne pepper, white pepper and sea salt.
Step 4

Gradually add cheddar, Blarney Castle and 1/2 of the Dubliner cheeses, whisking until incorporated.
Step 5

Add drained pasta into cheese sauce. Pour into large casserole dish.
Step 6

Mix together 1/2 the Dubliner Cheese, breadcrumbs, 3 Tbsp. melted butter and parsley. Top the pasta mixture with this mixture.
Step 7

Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
Step 8

NOTE: Kerrygold dairy products can generally be found at WalMart stores, and I believe I have seen them at Kroger also.
