I commenced a Pinterest search and immediately fell for this recipe. Click here for the original!
It was a major hit! A couple people said this was the best Mac and cheese they had ever eaten!

"THE Mac and Cheese"
Grocery List
- 1 lb. cavatappi pasta (or pasta of your choice)
- ½ c. butter*
- ½ c. flour*
- 4 c. milk*
- 6 c. freshly shredded sharp or white Cheddar (I used 2 C Havarti and 4 C sharp cheddar)
- 1 T. salt
- up to 1 T. pepper
- 2 T. butter
- ½ c. panko bread crumbs
* next time, I will make more of the sauce recipe! Maybe 3/4 c each and flour and butter with 6 cups of milk!
Here's how...
- Boil pasta in salted water according to package directions. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour and whisk and cook 2-3 minutes. Add in salt and pepper. Slowly pour in 4 c. milk whisking until smooth and heating to a low boil until thickened. Do not stop until thick. Remove from heat.
- Grease a 9x13" baking dish and add the hot pasta to the dish. Over the top sprinkle 6 c. of freshly shredded cheese. Pour the thickened cream sauce over the hot pasta and cheese and let it sit until the cheese melts. Stir everything together.
- Melt 2 T. butter over medium heat. Add in panko bread crumbs, stirring constantly 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Pour over the mac and cheese.
- Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven 12-15 minutes.
