MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH GARLIC BREADCRUMBS, PLAIN AND CHIPOTLE
I make this mac and cheese for large gatherings because it can be made 2 days in advance. Everyone loves it. I usually make half plain for the kids, and half with chipotles for the adults. Any tubular pasta will work and I often 'clean out the fridge' and add any other cheeses that I may have on hand.

Tips:
- Use high-quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your macaroni and cheese. Use a sharp cheddar cheese that is aged for at least 6 months. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella.
- Cook the macaroni al dente. Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked just until it is tender, but still has a slight bite to it. This will help the macaroni hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Make a creamy sauce. The sauce is what makes macaroni and cheese so delicious. Use a combination of milk, butter, and flour to make a roux. This will help to thicken the sauce and give it a smooth, creamy texture.
- Season the sauce well. Don't be afraid to season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cayenne pepper or paprika, to give the sauce a little kick.
- Add your favorite toppings. Once the macaroni and cheese is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include bacon, breadcrumbs, and jalapeños. You can also get creative and add other toppings, such as grilled chicken, sautéed vegetables, or even lobster.
Conclusion:
Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients and toppings. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, macaroni and cheese is sure to please everyone at the table.
