Air Fryer Mac & Cheese

Author: A Family Feast
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: Forty five minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Yield: 4-6 servings
Category: pasta
Method: baked
Cuisine: American

½ pound dry uncooked pasta (we used elbow macaroni)

2 cups whole milk

1 cup hen inventory

four tablespoons butter

four tablespoons cream cheese

8-ounce bundle sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon white pepper

1 teaspoon dry mustard

Pinch Cayenne pepper

Few grinds fresh nutmeg

Preheat air fryer on 400 degrees F. for 10 minutes.

Rinse pasta under scorching faucet water for two minutes and drain.

Place milk, chicken inventory, butter and cream cheese in a glass 4-cup or bigger measuring cup and microwave until scorching, and the butter melted, about 3-4 minutes. (This simply must be sizzling sufficient to melt the butter and cream cheese, not boiling scorching)

Mix drained pasta, hot liquid, cheddar, mozzarella, salt, pepper, mustard, cayenne and nutmeg in a large bowl then pour into the Air Fryer handled pan.

Spray a spherical parchment circle with pan spray and place sprayed facet down over the macaroni mixture, pressing right down to contact the mixture. Cover the top with foil and set into the heated air fryer and cook for forty five minutes.

Note: Air fryer wattages vary so verify at 35 minutes and cook the extra 5-10 minutes as wanted. Our air fryer is an 1800-watt air fryer and our macaroni and cheese took exactly forty five minutes.

Remove foil and parchment, stir and serve.

Some air fryers sell accessories (just like the 7-cup pan we used in this recipe) separately. In the event you don’t own the dealt with pan, we examined this recipe first with an 8-cup stainless steel mixing bowl and it worked simply as properly (however having a pan with a handle undoubtedly made it easier to elevate out of the air fryer). The recipe makes six cups so it fits completely in this pan. The pan we used is 3” deep and 7” throughout.
