INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🍝 1 ½ cups uncooked elbow macaroni
    • 🧈 ¼ cup butter
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 🥛 2 cups milk
    • 🧀 8 ounces American cheese, cubed
    • 🧀 8 ounces processed cheese food (e.g., Velveeta), cubed
    • ¼ cup seasoned dry bread crumbs

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Butter a 1.5-quart casserole dish.

2

Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook until not quite done, about 6 minutes. Drain.

3

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Blend in the flour, mustard powder, and pepper until smooth. Slowly stir in the milk, beating out any lumps.

4

Add the American and processed cheeses to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the sauce is thick and smooth.

5

Combine the drained macaroni with the cheese sauce, then transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish.

6

Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top. Cover the dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is thick and bubbly.
