MASTERFUL MAC 'N' CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375*F.
• Butter a 9" square baking pan.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the macaroni and cook according to the package directions, until firm and slightly undercooked(8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the milk with the oange puree and salt.(and white puree if using-if using both use 1/4 cup each). Put half the macaroni into the baking pan and top with half colby(or cheddar) cheese.
• Next, layer with the rest of the macaroni, then pour the milk mixture over the top, finishing with the last of the cheese on top.
• If using Crunchy Topping Variation, use a rolling pin to gently crush cereal in a sealed plastic bag. Or, you can quickly pulse the cereal in a food processor. Add wheat germ and Parmesan to the bag and shake to mix.
• Sprinkle crumb mixture on top of macaroni and cheese and dot with butter.
• Bake 30-35 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.
