Max's Mac & Cheese Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pasta

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Cheese Sauce

   In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

3. 3

   Add the Cheese

   Reduce heat to low and add the Karlie's Gratitude cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

4. 4

   Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until well coated. If desired, you can mix in bread crumbs for a crunchy topping.

5. 5

   Bake (optional)

   Transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish, sprinkle with more bread crumbs if using, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes until golden on top.
