Mac and Cheese Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until it turns golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and thickened.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheeses

    Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, and grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and creamy.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce, mixing until the pasta is evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Season the Dish

    Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste. If desired, transfer the mac and cheese to a baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

  6. 6

    Bake (optional)

    If using bread crumbs, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes or until the top is golden and crispy.
