Baked Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

Hello Lovelies! Today I wanted to share with you a Macaroni and Cheese Recipe. This recipe is inspired by Mueller's Baked Mac and Cheese. I have changed a few things to suit my needs.

The Recipe calls for 

8 oz. Elbows (I prefer shells)

2 Tbs cornstarch

1 tsp salt (I used more sense I used a mild cheese)

1/2 tsp dry mustard

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

3 cups of milk 2 tbs butter/margarine

2 cups of shredded American or cheddar cheese, divided

I am not a cheese lover but if I do have cheese, I prefer white or Italian Cheese. In addition, for the dry ingredients, I did add more than the recipe calls for.

When baking or cooking, I prefer to use the least amount of dishes possible. So the order I type the instructions is how I do it but if you want to see the directions for the original recipe, you can see it here. I also layer the cheese in.

1. Cook pasta for 6 minutes and drain. I personally rinse sometimes.
2. Rinse out the pot/saucepan.
3. Preheat over to 375 degrees.
4. Combine cornstarch, salt, dry mustard, and pepper. Stir in the milk and butter over a medium-high heat.
5. Bring to a boil for 1 minute.
6. Stir in half the cheese. {I did 8 oz of Mozzarella}
7. Stir in the pasta.
8. Pour half into your greased casserole dish.
9. Put a layer of the remaining cheese. {I used an Italian Blend ~ Mozzarella, Parmesan, Romano, and Provolone}
10. Pour the rest of the pasta onto and add another layer of cheese. Use as little or as much as you like.
11. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes.

I leave it in for a few more minutes so that it can brown on top.

I hope you all enjoyed and I hope you try it out! Check out my Instagram post to see the cheese bubble!
