THE EASIEST BAKED MACARONI & CHEESE



The Easiest Baked Macaroni & Cheese image

There may be lots of recipes out there for macaroni and cheese, but this is the first one I ever found that you don't have to cook the macaroni before you bake it. It is also really simple to put together - all in the casserole dish you are baking it in! I got this from a newsletter of an organization. I take this to potlucks all the time and I always come home with none of it left. It's a dish I'm constantly handing out the recipe for; be sure not to use cheese that has been frozen and thawed because it will ruin the consistency of the dish. You can also cut down on the butter if you would like to lose some of the fat. This is not a real creamy cheesy type of macaroni and cheese, which can sometimes be a little too rich for our tastes. I've made those, but my family prefers this kind over any other.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2-3 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 cups milk

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt butter in microwave.
  • Pour macaroni in 2-3 quart casserole dish. Pour butter over macaroni. Stir well to coat.

  • Add cheese. Sometimes I may use a mixture of monterey, colby and cheddar, depending on what I have at the time. Mix well.
  • Add milk. Do not stir.
  • Bake uncovered in oven for 60 minutes. I do think this tastes best when it is still hot from the oven.

Here's what you need: Murray's® Mild Yellow Cheddar Cheese, Murray's® Sharp White Cheddar Cheese, large eggs, evaporated milk, kosher salt, sugar, freshly ground black pepper, dried elbow macaroni, unsalted butter, Murray's® Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Provided by Kroger

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 oz Murray's® Mild Yellow Cheddar Cheese
8 oz Murray's® Sharp White Cheddar Cheese
2 large eggs
1 can evaporated milk
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 package dried elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the baking dish
4 cups Murray's® Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Cut the Murray's® Mild Yellow Cheddar Cheese and Sharp White Cheddar Cheese into ½" cubes.
  • Add the eggs, evaporated milk, salt, sugar, and pepper to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook for 5-8 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the macaroni sit in the hot water for 3 minutes, until tender. Drain the macaroni and return to the pot.
  • Turn the heat to low and add the butter and Murray's® Shredded Cheddar Cheese. Stir until the butter and cheese are completely melted.
  • Pour the macaroni into a 9"x13" baking dish greased with butter and spread evenly. Add the egg and milk mixture and the cubed cheese, and carefully fold into the macaroni until well combined.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the top of the macaroni is golden brown.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: A combination of sharp cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella is a classic choice, but you can experiment with different types of cheeses to create your own unique flavor profile.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your macaroni and cheese will taste. Use fresh milk, butter, and eggs, and freshly grated cheese.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta al dente, so that it's still slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy in the casserole.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the sauce. It also adds a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. A little bit of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika can go a long way.
  • Top with breadcrumbs: A layer of breadcrumbs on top of the casserole adds a nice crunchy texture. You can use plain breadcrumbs or seasoned breadcrumbs, such as Italian-style breadcrumbs.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Baked macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With these tips, you can make the best baked macaroni and cheese that you've ever tasted.
