Super Creamy Mac & Cheese

August 30, 2017

This is one of our favorite back to school comfort foods. You are going to be amazed by this recipe because you don't even cook the noodles first - everything goes into the oven all at once! (trust us...it works and it's excellent!)

Super Creamy Mac & Cheese

An easy weeknight meal.

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 1/2 cups uncooked macaroni/penne/orecchiette
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 3/4 lb grated aged cheddar cheese
• 4 1/2 cups of whole milk

Instructions:

Melt butter in a deep baking dish. Stir uncooked noodles in melted butter until well coated. Sprinkle salt and pepper and cheese on noodles. Pour milk on all until it just reaches the top of the noodles. (Do not stir) Bake at 375F for one hour. Do not stir.

Remove from the oven and top with a mixture of toasted, buttered panko bread crumbs and freshly chopped parsley. Serve with a side salad.

Chef's Tip - Make it vegan! Substitute Almond Milk when making this recipe and a cheese like grated Daiya if you're wanting to make it vegan!
