1
Cook the Macaroni
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add 2 cups of macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Prepare the Cheese Sauce
In the same pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup of milk and heat until warm. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
3
Combine Ingredients
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce. Stir in 1 cup of mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn), and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
4
Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of breadcrumbs on top for added crunch.
5
Final Cooking
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
