    Irish Macaroni & Cheese

    There is always a reason to make macaroni & cheese. This American pasta favorite has always been among my favorite dishes. What better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day then with an Irish take on this American classic.

    Around every March 17th, I set out to find new Irish cheeses that have yet to cross my taste buds. There are lot of good options out there, some of which I got back to each year (i.e. Kerrygold Blarney Castle, yum!). This year I found a couple of mature cheddars that I hadn't tried yet - Wexford Mature Irish Cheddar and Kerrygold Reserve Cheddar. And what is a mature cheddar great for - why mac & cheese of course. Kerrygold Reserve is a two year aged cheddar with a strong, but not obnoxious bite. The Wexford Mature Irish cheddar is strong as well but with a bit of sweetness to it. Add to that the creaminess of the Gouda style Blarney Castle cheese and you have a recipe for a 3-cheese Irish mac & cheese that will deliver the goods. To add even more of the Emerald Isle to this dish - Kerrygold Irish Butter is a rich butter that ups the flavor ante.

    To make my Irish mac & cheese, I choose to use 3 different cheeses, 2 cheddar and a Gouda-style cheese. For the butter I used Kerrygold Irish Butter.
