Method

Mac & Cheese 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 to form a roux. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cheese

    Reduce heat to low, then add shredded mozzarella cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.

  5. 5

    Mix in Seasonings and Meats

    Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, cooked macaroni, pepperoni, and crumbled sausage. Mix until evenly combined.

Garlic Bread Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the French bread in half lengthwise.

  2. 7

    Make Garlic Butter

    In a small bowl, mix softened butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley until well combined.

  3. 8

    Spread on Bread

    Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the French bread.

  4. 9

    Bake the Bread

    Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and toasted.
