Baked Mac & Cheese

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 1 lb Elbow macaroni
• 3 cups Cheddar
• 2.5 cups Milk
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 1/4 cup Flour
• 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp Mustard powder

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Boil the macaroni 2 minutes less than the package says — it finishes in the oven.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour; cook 1 minute until it smells toasty.
3. Pour in the milk slowly, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
4. Simmer until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon, about 5 minutes.
5. Off the heat, stir in the mustard powder and 2.5 cups of cheddar until melted and smooth.
6. Fold in the drained macaroni and pour into a buttered baking dish.
7. Top with the remaining cheddar and the breadcrumbs.
8. Bake 25 minutes until bubbling and browned on top; rest 5 minutes before scooping.
