This homemade baked macaroni and cheese recipe beats the boxed kind any day of the week. For a divine main dish, stir in chopped cooked ham before baking, and then sprinkle top with chopped cooked bacon before serving. Ingredients:
1 (8-ounce) package elbow macaroni (about 2 cups uncooked macaroni) |
2 cups milk |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon onion salt |
2 (10-ounce) blocks sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (about 4 1/2 cups) and divided |
1 cup soft breadcrumbs (4 slices, crusts removed) |
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted |
Directions:
1. Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain well. Set aside.
2. Place milk, flour, and onion salt in a quart jar; cover tightly, and shake vigorously 1 minute.
3. Stir together flour mixture, 3 1/2 cups cheese, and macaroni.
4. Pour macaroni mixture into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish or 2 (11-inch) oval baking dishes. Sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs and remaining 1 cup cheese; drizzle evenly with melted butter.
5. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
6. *20 ounces loaf pasteurized prepared cheese product, shredded or cut into small cubes, may be substituted. Omit breadcrumbs if using prepared cheese product.
