I hope this recipe makes it onto your Thanksgiving or Christmas table this year. If not, we can attest that it’s a delicious everyday dinner too. Enjoy! Homemade Mac and Cheese Recipe IngredientsIf you’re used to eating mac and cheese from a box, get ready. This homemade macaroni and cheese is on a totally different level. Here’s what makes it so great:
How to Make Baked Macaroni and Cheese Ready to make this homemade mac and cheese recipe? Start by prepping the breadcrumb topping and cooking the pasta. Set them aside while you make the sauce. First, you’ll make a simple béchamel sauce, a classic French sauce made from a roux and milk. To make the roux, you’ll melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the flour to the melted butter, and whisk continuously until the mixture turns light brown. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously. Then, add the seasonings. Whisk in the garlic, mustard, paprika, salt, and several grinds of pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer, still whisking continuously. Next, add the cheddar and Gruyère cheeses, and keep whisking until they’re melted. Cook the sauce over medium-low heat, whisking often, until it thickens slightly, about 6 to 8 minutes. You’ll end up with the creamy, cheesy deliciousness pictured above!! …and stir to coat. Then, assemble and bake. Transfer the cheesy noodles to an oiled baking dish, and sprinkle with the breadcrumb topping. Bake at 425°F until the topping is crisp and the cheese is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Serve as a main dish with a salad or roasted broccoli or as a crowd-pleasing side dish! This mac and cheese is best on the day it’s made, but leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Pop them in the microwave to reheat, or warm them in baking dish covered with aluminum foil in a 350°F oven. Mac and Cheese Recipe Tips
