You cannot go wrong with Mac & Cheese. Its great for bbq’s, as winter comfort food and kids love it so that’s always a win! My boys request it often, along with chicken cutlets, so I’m sharing my Mac & Cheese recipe here with you today!
Mac and Cheese
Gooey, creamy and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 lb elbow macaroni
- 4 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tbs dried ground mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices american cheese
- 2 tbs breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- Cook pasta to package directions (al dente) and drain it. Pour into greased 13×9 dish and toss in 2tbs of butter. Set aside.
- Melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat.
- Stir in flour and whisk to combine.
- Add milk and heavy cream. Whisk while it thickens a tiny bit.
- Whisk in the seasonings and then stir in 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella and the american cheese torn into pieces. Keep stirring until all of the cheese is melted.
- Pour cheese sauce over the pasta and stir to combine well. It will seem like there's too much sauce, but there's not, don't worry!
- Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top. Sprinkle breadcrumbs and oregano on top of that.
- Bake for about 30 minutes – it should be bubbly and the cheese should be melted.
