Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound elbow pasta
4 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups milk
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, (optional)
1 1/4 cups shredded yellow cheddar cheese (5 ounces)
1 1/4 cups shredded white cheddar cheese (5 ounces)
8 ounces ham, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 slices white sandwich bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente; drain and reserve. Meanwhile, in a 5-quart heavy pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in flour to coat onion. In a slow steady stream, whisk in milk until there are no lumps.
  • Cook, whisking often, until mixture is thick and bubbly and coats the back of a wooden spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in cayenne, if using, and 1 cup each yellow and white cheddar cheese. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Toss pasta with cheese mixture; fold in ham. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or individual dishes. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse bread until large crumbs form. Toss together with remaining 1/4 cup each white and yellow cheddar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Top pasta with breadcrumb mixture. Bake until top is golden, about 30 minutes.

  • Make a roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the cheese sauce. It's important to cook the roux until it is smooth and golden brown, but not burned.
  • Add milk or cream slowly. Gradually whisk the milk or cream into the roux until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Stir in the macaroni and ham. Once the sauce is ready, stir in the cooked macaroni and ham. Make sure the macaroni is evenly coated with the sauce.
  • Bake the macaroni and cheese. Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish and bake it in a preheated oven until it is bubbly and golden brown.
  • Let the macaroni and cheese cool slightly before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to serve.
