Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a cozy and indulgent recipe that always brings a smile to my face. This sweet potato mac and cheese is the perfect dish for a chilly evening or when you’re craving some classic comfort food with a twist.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 200g macaroni
• 150g sharp cheddar cheese
• 250ml milk
• 50g butter
• 30g all-purpose flour
• 50g breadcrumbs
• to taste salt
• to taste pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• pot
• baking dish
• oven
• whisk

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes, then boil them in a pot of water until they are tender. In a separate pot, cook the macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain both the sweet potatoes and macaroni and set aside.

Next, in a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux, cooking for a couple of minutes until it is golden brown. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Let the mixture simmer until it thickens into a creamy sauce.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts completely. Season the cheese sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the cheese sauce and mash them until smooth.

Combine the sweet potato and cheese mixture with the cooked macaroni, ensuring everything is well coated. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top for a crispy finish.

Bake the sweet potato mac and cheese in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Once done, let it cool slightly before serving.

This hearty and creamy sweet potato mac and cheese weighs approximately 1000g in total, with 4 servings. Each serving is around 250g and has an estimated calorie count of 400 calories.

One special tip for this recipe is to add a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce for a warm and comforting flavor boost. Trust me, it’s the perfect finishing touch!
