OLD SCHOOL MAC N' CHEESE



Old School Mac n' Cheese image

This is a completely unpretentious, down-home macaroni and cheese recipe just like my grandma and mom always made. A simple white sauce where you add cheese and a few other flavors with macaroni and a potato chip crust. This recipe makes a lot, I like to make two pans so I can take one to a pot luck and have the other one to keep in the fridge for later. It's an easy recipe to adjust down if you only want to make one pan. If you aren't cooking it right away, just keep the topping separate until you are ready to put it in the oven.

Time 1h15m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ¾ pounds whole-wheat macaroni
¾ cup butter
¾ cup all-purpose flour
6 cups milk, divided
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
3 (8 ounce) packages shredded American cheese
1 (8 ounce) bag potato chips (such as Lay's®), crushed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
butter-flavored cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Slowly add flour to butter, whisking constantly; cook until brown and the mixture no longer smells of flour, about 5 minutes. Pour 1 cup milk into the flour mixture, whisking continually until fully incorporated, about 45 seconds; repeat twice. Add remaining 3 cups milk to the mixture, whisking to incorporate. Stir Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper into the mixture; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Reduce heat to low. Cook sauce, whisking frequently, until it begins to thicken, about 10 minutes. Add about half the package of shredded Cheddar cheese; stir continually until the cheese melts completely. Repeat with remaining half package of Cheddar cheese and the American cheese, about 4 ounces at a time. Once cheese is entirely incorporated, remove sauce from heat.
  • Stir drained macaroni into the cheese sauce to coat. Divide macaroni between two 9x13-inch baking dishes.
  • Mix crushed potato chips, 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Top the macaroni with the potato chip mixture evenly. Spray the potato chip mixture with cooking spray.
  • Bake in preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling, 35 to 45 minutes.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Macaroni and Cheese Recipes     Baked Macaroni and Cheese Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups elbow macaroni
¼ cup butter, divided
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the macaroni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and mix with half of the butter.
  • While the macaroni is boiling, melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions, and cook until the onions begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, and cook 5 minutes longer. Add the milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Cook and stir until the milk has thickened, about 10 minutes. Once thick and smooth, stir in the salt, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, mustard, 2 cups of Cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheeses have melted, then stir in the macaroni until evenly coated. Scrape into the prepared baking dish, and smooth the top. Toss the remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese with the dry bread crumbs in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the macaroni.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the macaroni is hot and the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
