The Best Mac & Cheese Recipe Ever

If you're a macaroni and cheese lover, you've come to the right place! This recipe is sure to become your new favorite comfort food dish. With its creamy sauce, perfectly cooked pasta, and crispy crust, this baked mac and cheese recipe is the perfect way to satisfy your cravings.

To start, cook your pasta according to package directions until it's al dente. Then, drain and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process. Next, add a pinch of salt to a medium saucepan or skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Add half the noodles to the pan, along with half the remaining cheese on top.

While that's cooking, melt butter over medium heat in another saucepan. Whisk constantly for about three minutes, then stir in milk and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and add 2 cups of cheese, stirring until melted. If you want to take it up a notch, sprinkle a little bit of panko on top for a crispy crust.

Once the noodles are cooked, remove them from the pan and transfer them to a casserole dish. Pour the creamy sauce over the cooked pasta and toss gently until all noodles are covered. Then, add the rest of the noodles and again sprinkle on the remaining cheese.

Finally, bake uncovered at 375°F for about 25-30 minutes, until it starts getting brown on top and the cheese has really thickened. This will give you a crispy crust that's simply irresistible.

And there you have it – the best mac & cheese recipe ever! You can enjoy this dish as quick stovetop mac and cheese or bake it for an even more delicious treat. Whichever way you choose, this recipe is sure to become your new go-to comfort food.
