Grandma's - Classic Baked Macaroni and Cheese Yields: 6-8 servings Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes (including baking) Oven Temperature: 400°F (200°C) Ingredients: ½ (16-oz) package elbow macaroni, cooked according to package directions 2 cups milk 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 (10-oz) block extra sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided (reserve 1 cup for topping) ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper (optional) Cooking spray Instructions: Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Cook Macaroni: Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside. Warm Milk: Microwave the milk on HIGH for 1 ½ minutes. This step helps the sauce come together more smoothly. Make Roux: Melt the butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute. Add Milk and Thicken: Gradually whisk in the warm milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Add Cheese and Seasonings: Remove from heat. Whisk in the salt, black pepper, 1 cup of the shredded Cheddar cheese, and the ground red pepper (if using) until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Combine with Pasta: Add the hot, cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until well coated. Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the macaroni and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Serve: Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Tips and Variations: Cheese: Extra sharp Cheddar provides a great flavor, but you can use other cheeses or a combination. Monterey Jack, Colby, or Gruyere are good options. Mustard: A teaspoon of Dijon mustard added to the cheese sauce can enhance the flavor. Onion/Garlic: Sautéed onion or garlic can be added to the sauce for extra depth of flavor. Breadcrumbs: For a crispy topping, sprinkle the macaroni and cheese with breadcrumbs before baking. Spice: Adjust the amount of red pepper to your liking. Milk: Whole milk will make the richest and creamiest sauce, but you can use 2% milk if you prefer. | Facebook
