Ingredients
8 ounces elbow pasta
1 tablespoon salted butter
8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
Sauce:
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces processed cheese, cut into small cubes

Steps:

  • Directions WATCH Watch how to make this recipe. For the pan: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-by-9-inch baking dish or aluminum pan. Add the cooked pasta. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. For the sauce: In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and heat until melted. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture smells like popcorn, about 5 minutes. Slowly add the milk, stirring or whisking while adding. Taste and season the pot with salt and pepper. Add the cheese cubes and stir until melted. Pour the sauce over the pasta and gently shake the baking dish to settle the sauce in the nooks and crannies. Top with the shredded Cheddar and bake until the corners are brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly ground black pepper, real butter, and sharp cheddar cheese will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be cooked al dente, with a slight bite to it.
  • Make sure the cheese sauce is thick and creamy. If it's too thin, it won't coat the macaroni properly.
  • Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce immediately after it's been drained. This will help prevent the macaroni from sticking together.
  • Season the mac and cheese to taste. You may want to add additional salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Top the mac and cheese with breadcrumbs or grated Parmesan cheese before baking. This will give it a golden brown crust.
  • Let the mac and cheese rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Kevin's Grandma's Mac and Cheese is a classic comfort food dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. It's made with simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like it plain or loaded with toppings, this mac and cheese is sure to be a hit.
