How Do You Make The Best Baked Macaroni And Cheese?
Here’s my favorite way to make baked macaroni and cheese. It’s simple and easy, and tastes so much better than the usual boxed version. There are only a few basic ingredients in this dish, just macaroni noodles, cheese, milk and butter. Using salt and pepper as seasoning is optional. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and grease a large glass casserole dish. You can also use a non-stick baking dish as well. A 9 by 13 inch pan works good for this recipe. Boil an 8 ounce package of elbow macaroni, until the noodles are still a bit firm, and then drain. Put the macaroni noodles into a large bowl, and add two cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in a cup and a half of milk. You can use half-and-half if you want extra creammy macaroni and cheese. Spoon the macaroni and cheese mixture into the greased casserole dish, and spread the ingredients out evenly in the pan. Dot the mixture all over the top with small pieces of butter or margarine, about two tablespoo
