Mac and Cheese

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add 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. Stir in flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cheese and Seasonings

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted. Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until well coated.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Panko Parmesan Crust

    In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle evenly over the mac and cheese mixture.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crisp.
