American Cheesy Baked Mac & Cheese Bowl
On a chilly autumn weekend in Chicago, USA, craving a classic "comfort food"? Use the Geedel manual veggie chopper to quickly prep spinach and onions. Combined with supermarket staples like macaroni and cheddar cheese, bake a bubbling, cheesy casserole in 30 minutes. This perfectly meets the American desire for something "rich, hearty, and quick for a family meal," loved by both kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
100g dried macaroni
80g shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
50g chicken breast (cut into small cubes)
50g spinach (washed)
¼ onion
1 garlic clove (minced or pressed into a paste)
50ml milk
¼ tsp salt
A pinch of black pepper
20g breadcrumbs (for topping)
Instructions
1. Prep Ingredients: Manual Chopping Saves Time
Blanch the spinach, then squeeze out excess water. Place the spinach and onion together in the manual food chopper. Press once lightly to chop them finely (this avoids long spinach fibers and creates a smoother texture).
Place the chicken in the vegetable chopper and cut the chicken breast into 1cm cubes. Toss with a little salt and let it marinate for 5 minutes.
2. Cook Pasta & Sauté Base: Two Tracks, One Pan
Cook the macaroni according to package directions until al dente (about 1-2 minutes less than fully cooked). Drain well.
Heat a little oil in a skillet. Sauté the minced garlic and cubed chicken until the chicken is cooked through. Add the chopped spinach and onion mixture and stir-fry for 1 minute. Pour in the milk and add 50g of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and forms a sauce.
3. Assemble & Bake: A Cheese Lover's Dream
In a baking dish, combine the cooked macaroni and the cheesy chicken sauce. Mix until well coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 30g of shredded cheddar cheese and the breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 15 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve immediately. The macaroni coated in rich, creamy cheese is the ultimate warming and satisfying dish.
Conclusion
The Geedel Chopper solves uneven veggies and melting cheese for mac and cheese. With creamy milk and common supermarket ingredients, it's a foolproof warm dish—classic flavor, zero fuss.
