Easiest Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese image

My family always expects the 'real deal' homemade macaroni and cheese, and this recipe passed the 'family taste test' with flying colors on Easter. However, this time it was much easier to make, using jarred Alfredo sauce instead of homemade white sauce. Try it. It's easy as pie, and FABULOUS!

Time 1h25m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 (16 ounce) packages elbow macaroni
2 (15 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce
1 (1 pound) package processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 (16 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 10 1/2x13 1/2-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; stir 1 teaspoon salt and vegetable oil into boiling water. Gradually stir macaroni into the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until macaroni are tender but still slightly firm, about 10 minutes. Drain well and pour macaroni into prepared baking dish.
  • Pour Alfredo sauce into a 3-quart microwave-safe bowl and stir processed cheese into sauce; microwave on 60 percent power for 6 minutes. Stir sauce mixture and microwave for 5 more minutes on 60 percent power. Season with black pepper and paprika. Stir 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese into mixture until cheese has melted and sauce is thick and smooth.
  • Pour half the cheese sauce over macaroni and stir to coat; pour in remaining cheese mixture and stir again. Spread remaining shredded sharp Cheddar cheese over macaroni. Top casserole with bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbling, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Broil casserole under oven's broiler for 3 to 4 minutes if you like a browned top. Let macaroni and cheese stand for 10 minutes before serving.

HOMESTYLE MACARONI AND CHEESE



Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese image

From "The Dinner Doctor" by Anne Byrn. Posting so I don't lose this - I made as directed and while not my absolute favorite mac & cheese, it is super quick to throw together and tastes quite good.

Provided by RSL5709

Categories     Cheese

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces elbow macaroni
1 (10 ounce) container refrigerated alfredo sauce (I used Butoni)
12 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup bread, crumbs coarse

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Cook macaroni in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking water (IMPORTANT!).
  • Place macaroni in large bowl along with reserved cooking water, alfredo sauce, and 2 cup (8 oz.) of the cheese.
  • Mix well and pour into 2 quart casserole dish.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  • Toss bread crumbs with olive oil and sprinkle on top of casserole.
  • Bake at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or a blend of cheddar and mozzarella will give you the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. It should coat the pasta evenly and not be too runny.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add cooked bacon, crumbled sausage, or chopped vegetables to the macaroni and cheese.
  • Top the macaroni and cheese with a breadcrumb topping. This will give it a nice crispy texture.
  • Let the macaroni and cheese cool slightly before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it simple or loaded with toppings, macaroni and cheese is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
