Fallout Themed Recipe: Blamco Mac and Cheese

Blamco, the household name of Macaroni and Cheese all across the Fallout Worlds...and renowned among the Wastelanders.

It's the classic box mac and cheese, a staple in prewar times.

You'll find these boxes of macky cheese spread through the wasteland, just waiting to be consumed.
Let's make some now!

I am absolutely NOT a fan of macaroni and cheese.

I have never liked anyone's "tried and true" "grandma's secret recipe" or the "best mac and cheese in the world".

Nope, not one. I just don't like the pasta.

If you were like, hey do you want to make a cheese sauce and dump it on potatoes--I'm there, I love some cheesy potato casserole.

But not macaroni pasta.

However, I am also absolutely NOT a fan of recipes that are like "use one box of mac and cheese"...and you're done.

So, for this Blamco Mac and Cheese Recipe, I made a legit, from scratch recipe.

And my kids loved it--I still do not like mac and cheese, although I did try one noodle...and it needed salt.

Blamco Mac and Cheese (Homemade from Scratch) Recipe Ingredients:

• 16 oz. Macaroni Elbow Pasta
• 1 TBSP Butter (for pasta)
• 1/4 Cup Butter
• 1/2 Cup Flour
• 3 Cups Milk
• 1 Cups Grated Gruyere Cheese (or cheddar gruyere--whatever you can find)
• 2 Cup Grated Cheddar Cheese (for the Blamco color)
• 2 teaspoons Salt 
• 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Paprika Powder

Step 1: Grate the Cheese

The beauty of Mac and Cheese, I am told, is the combination of a couple of flavors of cheese.

Begin by shredding the cheddar and cheddar/gruyere into a bowl.

No need to separate them, as they will combine together in moments.

It's best to use fresh grated cheese rather than grated from the store because there are anti-caking agents in the cheese that make it not blend as well.

Step 2: White Sauce

Make a basic roux white sauce by combining 1/4 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of flour in a 8 cup sauce pan.

Use a whisk to stir this on medium heat into a nice smooth paste.

After the paste is smooth and combined, add 3 cups of milk, one cup at a time into the pan and gently whisk it in.

Continue the mixing process until all three cups of milk have been added and combined.

Then stir on medium/high heat until it begins to thicken and bubble.

It just needs to be a thick sauce that coats the back of a spoon and leaves a track if you run your finger across it.

Add in the onion powder and paprika now and stir them together.

Step 3: Cook Noodles

Ideally, you get the pasta cooking right from the beginning...and this step is just about the fact that they are all cooked, drained and 1 tablespoon of butter added to them.

Once the pasta is prepared, dump it into a big casserole dish, ready for baking.

Then take the white sauce off the heat and add the 3 cups of cheese to the sauce and gently stir it in.

No need to combine it completely or make sure the cheese is melted.

Step 4: Pour and Bake

Now pour the cheese sauce all over the macaroni pasta in the baking dish, gently stir it around so the pasta is coated.

Then top the macaroni and cheese with a little more shredded cheese if you desire.

I did and didn't seem to think it made that big of a difference, but it looks pretty.

Then bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 350*F.

This will melt the cheese and give the pasta a deeper level of flavor I am told.

Again, this is not my favorite dish, but I like to think I made old Dad and Mom Blamco proud of me with this dish.

Or just pick up a box of Blamco Mac and Cheese at your local Sunshine Meadows Industrial Farms.

Blamco Mac and Cheese, a pre-packaged product from the Fallout universe's Blamco company, embodies nostalgia and practicality in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. 

Found in metal or plastic containers adorned with retro branding, it offers a hearty meal with a creamy sauce. 

Despite its simplicity, it serves as a reliable source of sustenance, boosting health and hunger meters for wasteland survivors. 

As a cultural icon, it symbolizes resilience and resourcefulness, adding depth to the immersive experience of exploring Fallout's world.

*Side note: My printer was running out of ink when I printed my Blamco box...but I just went with it...it should be more blue and orange.

That's it!

Hope you enjoy this homemade from scratch Macaroni and Cheese as a fun dinner featuring Blamco Mac and Cheese from the Fallout Universe.

It's a cheese and pasta dish with layers of flavor and creaminess.

It's delicious and pretty easy to make!
