Steps:
- Put macaroni on to cook in 4 cups water, salt and 1 tablespoon butter.
- Cook rapidly in open kettle, stirring often. The butter will keep it from sticking or boiling over.
- Brown meat, stirring to small bits.
- Turn off macaroni when water is almost gone and do not drain.
- In a small bowl, add the packaged cheese to the milk and stir until smooth.
- Add spaghetti sauce and sugar.
- Add remaining butter.
- Mix all ingredients except grated cheese and pour into buttered 9"x13" oven dish. Sprinkle top with cheese and bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your macaroni and cheese. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
- Don't overcook the macaroni: Macaroni that is overcooked will be mushy and unpleasant. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (slightly firm to the bite).
- Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken the cheese sauce. A roux will help to prevent the cheese sauce from becoming thin and watery.
- Add milk or cream gradually: When you are adding milk or cream to the cheese sauce, do it gradually and whisk constantly. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Season the cheese sauce to taste: Season the cheese sauce with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of hot sauce or Dijon mustard for a little extra flavor.
- Top the macaroni and cheese with breadcrumbs: Before baking the macaroni and cheese, top it with a layer of breadcrumbs. This will give the macaroni and cheese a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Conclusion:
Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make macaroni and cheese that is creamy, cheesy, and delicious. Whether you are making it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, macaroni and cheese is sure to be a hit.
