How to Make Easy Mac and Cheese

Jump To Recipe | Print Recipe

This mac and cheese with smoked cheddar and parmesan with a crispy breadcrumb topping is the best macaroni and cheese recipe you can find. Comfort food at its best

Tell me one person who doesn’t like macaroni and cheese? No one, yes absolutely no one says no to the good old mac and cheese. I absolutely can’t, even if I know, I am going to get food coma after the carbohydrate rush! It’s total comfort food for me. I have also gone to posh restaurants and ordered a big mac and cheese casserole! Yes this particular one is just ultimate.

There isn’t too much you can do with this. It is as simple as Macaroni + Cheese Sauce. And the more the merrier. So if you are a health freak and count calories before you eat – this recipe is not for you. It is high on carbohydrate, dairy everything. So if you like something like a sinful savory food this is just that.

What I do Extra?

I already told you, I don’t experiment much with this particular recipe. All I have done is added some breadcrumb and baked it. It gives a crispy topping and makes the color dark. I have also added some herbs for a change of taste. That’s it, no more contribution from my side.

What else can you modify?

The white sauce or as the French call it béchamel sauce, for the mac and cheese, is made with first making a roux. It’s equal parts of butter and flour cooked together, to which later you would add milk. For this recipe you can totally skip that roux part. You can mix 2 tablespoon of flour in ½ a cup pf milk and later add that to the sauce – it will thicken the sauce well enough.

But since this is a classic – I made it with the roux.
