Recipes:
Ultimate Baked Mac & Cheese
Ingredients
500g elbow macaroni
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp mustard powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheese blend (for topping)
Instructions
Cook the Macaroni
Boil the macaroni in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Make the Cheese Sauce
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to make a roux.
Gradually add milk while whisking, ensuring no lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens.
Stir in cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Add mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Mix the cooked macaroni with the cheese sauce, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
Assemble for Baking
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the macaroni and cheese to a greased baking dish. Top with the shredded cheese blend.
Bake to Perfection
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the cheese on top is golden and bubbly.
Serve Hot
Let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Scoop and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
Pro Tip
For added crunch, sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter on top before baking. Pair with a side salad for balance.
This indulgent dish is perfect for family dinners or comfort food cravings!
