8

tablespoons unsalted butter

½

cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

6

cups whole milk

¾

teaspoon sea or kosher salt

½

pinch ground nutmeg

¼

12

(we love using Cheddar and/or

fontina)

4

ounces grated Parmesan

1

pound macar

oni, par-cooked (see

package instructions and cook half

of the suggested time), reserved

1. Put the butter into the cooking pot of the

Multicooker set to Brown/Sauté at 250°F

.

Once butter has melted, stir in the flour

and let cook, stirring often, for about 4 to 5

minutes or until mixture is lightly br

owned

and thickened.

2. Gradually whisk in the milk, salt, pepper

,

nutmeg and dry mustard using a nonstick

whisk. Raise heat to 325°F to bring the

mixture to a boil. Stirring constantly

, let

mixture cook about 5 minutes or so, until

thickened. This mixture is a béchamel or

white sauce, a sauce base for melting

cheese easily. It should be thick enough to

thickly coat the back of a spoon.

3. Once the white sauce has thickened, stir in

the cheeses and mix until melted.

4. Stir in the macar

oni until well mixed and

cover.

5. Switch the unit to Slow Cook on Low for 4

hours.

6. Once time has expir

ed, the unit will

automatically switch to Keep Warm. Serve

immediately, gar

nished with toasted

breadcrumbs if desir

ed.
