Tips:
- Use a high-quality cheddar cheese. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your macaroni and cheese.
- Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be cooked al dente, with a slight bite to it.

- Top the macaroni and cheese with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers before baking. This will give it a crispy topping.
- Bake the macaroni and cheese until it's bubbly and golden brown. This will take about 30 minutes.
