OLD SCHOOL MAC N' CHEESE



Old School Mac n' Cheese image

This is a completely unpretentious, down-home macaroni and cheese recipe just like my grandma and mom always made. A simple white sauce where you add cheese and a few other flavors with macaroni and a potato chip crust. This recipe makes a lot, I like to make two pans so I can take one to a pot luck and have the other one to keep in the fridge for later. It's an easy recipe to adjust down if you only want to make one pan. If you aren't cooking it right away, just keep the topping separate until you are ready to put it in the oven.

Time 1h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ¾ pounds whole-wheat macaroni
¾ cup butter
¾ cup all-purpose flour
6 cups milk, divided
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
3 (8 ounce) packages shredded American cheese
1 (8 ounce) bag potato chips (such as Lay's®), crushed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
butter-flavored cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Slowly add flour to butter, whisking constantly; cook until brown and the mixture no longer smells of flour, about 5 minutes. Pour 1 cup milk into the flour mixture, whisking continually until fully incorporated, about 45 seconds; repeat twice. Add remaining 3 cups milk to the mixture, whisking to incorporate. Stir Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper into the mixture; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Reduce heat to low. Cook sauce, whisking frequently, until it begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Add about half the package of shredded Cheddar cheese; stir continually until the cheese melts completely. Repeat with remaining half package of Cheddar cheese and the American cheese, about 4 ounces at a time. Once cheese is entirely incorporated, remove sauce from heat.
  • Stir drained macaroni into the cheese sauce to coat. Divide macaroni between two 9x13-inch baking dishes.
  • Mix crushed potato chips, 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Top the macaroni with the potato chip mixture evenly. Spray the potato chip mixture with cooking spray.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality cheese, such as sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan, for the best flavor.
  • Cook the Macaroni Perfectly: Cook the macaroni according to the package instructions, but test it a minute or two before the recommended time to ensure it's al dente and still has a slight bite.
  • Make a Roux: To create a smooth and creamy cheese sauce, make a roux by melting butter and whisking in flour until it forms a paste.
  • Use Milk or Cream: Add milk or cream to the roux and whisk until the sauce thickens. You can use whole milk, low-fat milk, or even heavy cream, depending on your desired consistency.
  • Add the Cheese Gradually: Add the cheese to the sauce in batches, stirring constantly until it melts and becomes smooth.
  • Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a bit of spice.
  • Add Mix-Ins: Feel free to add mix-ins such as cooked bacon, diced ham, sautéed vegetables, or even lobster for a luxurious touch.
  • Broil or Bake: For a golden brown crust, you can broil the macaroni and cheese for a few minutes or bake it in the oven until the top is bubbly and slightly browned.
  • Serve Immediately: Macaroni and cheese is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. Enjoy it as a main course or a comforting side dish.

With these tips in mind, you can create a delicious and flavorful macaroni and cheese that will satisfy your cravings and impress your family and friends.
