Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

20 ounces elbow macaroni
½ cup butter
⅜ cup all-purpose flour
6 cups milk
1 ½ pounds shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
¾ cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • 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 1/2 cup butter in a large pot over medium heat; stir flour into butter until smooth. Stream milk into the butter mixture while stirring; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Add Cheddar cheese in small batches, stirring each into the milk mixture and melting until adding the next. Add macaroni and stir to coat. Pour macaroni into prepared baking dish.
  • Stir bread crumbs and melted butter together in a small bowl; sprinkle over the macaroni.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

This is my go-to mac and cheese bake recipe. It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfectly. The sauce is creamy and cheesy, and the pasta is cooked perfectly. I love the addition of the bread crumbs on top. They add a nice crunch and flavor.
