Outside the box<\/p><\/div>\n

All right, all right, ya HyperBowl 49 watchersz! Take it easy! If you have been invited to one of ’em fancie HyperBowl 49 viewing partiesz, you never want to show up empty-handed. You can go with the usual standbys like guacamole, onion dip and chips, and crudités, but how ’bout some homemade macaroni-and-cheese? That’s classie, Freddy Blassy! <\/p>\n

If you are a true DIY food-fetishist, you will whisk up the roux with a little dry mustard, stir in the milk and some paprika and bay leaf and chopped onion for your bechamel, temper the egg and throw it in along with a mountain of sharp cheddar cheese. After the whole thing melts down, only then can you toss in the elbows (already cooked al dente<\/em>, no doubt). Pour the whole conglomeration into a casserole dish, then sprinkle a little more cheese on top and butter-up some panko for the extra-crispy-crunchy garnish. Bake well, broil for a minute or two after that and — voilà!<\/em> — the trick, she is done. Eat up!<\/p>\n

(N.B. Of course, you don’t want to bring a dish that isn’t James Beard-worthy, so it must be taste-tested for quality-assurance; we vouch that the dish in the snapshot is restaurant-quality. Tyvm. Burp.)<\/p>\n
