If you are not a garlic-lover then you may omit, I like to add in a pinch or so of cayenne pepper also, for best flavor use a sharp cheddar cheese for this such as Kraft Cracker Barrel Sharp Cheddar Cheese and for a main meal add in 2 cups chopped cooked ham or cooked chicken. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package uncooked elbow macaroni (about 2 cups uncooked) |
2 cups half-and-half cream (or use 1 cup each) or 2 cups milk (or use 1 cup each) |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon onion salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
2 (10 ounce) blocks sharp cheddar cheese, shredded and divided (about 4-1/2 cups) |
1 cup soft breadcrumbs |
1/4 cup melted butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
3. Cook the macaroni in boiling water until al dente (do not cook until very soft) drain, then place into a bowl.
4. Place the milk, flour, onion salt and garlic powder in a 1-quart jar; cover tightly and shake vigorously for 1 minute; pour the mixture over the macaroni and add in 3-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese; mix thoroughly to combine, then spread into the baking dish.
5. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs then remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
6. Drizzle 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine over the top.
7. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
