How to Make Homemade Macaroni and Cheese

✅Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) uncooked macaroni
1 tablespoon butter

For the Topping
12 pieces Ritz Crackers, crushed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese

For the Cheese Sauce
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
4 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound extra sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded

✅Instructions

In a pot over medium heat, bring salted water to a boil. Add macaroni and cook about 1 minute shy of the package directions or until slightly firm. Drain well and toss with one tablespoon butter. Set aside.

In a bowl, combine butter, crackers, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, add the 1/2 cup butter and cook until melted. Add flour and whisk until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned and slightly nutty in aroma.

Gradually add milk and heavy cream, whisking vigorously to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer, whisking regularly.

Add ground mustard, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and continue to simmer, whisking occasionally, for about 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens and coats the back of the spoon.

Add cheese in three parts, whisking until cheese is melted before adding the next batch.

In a large bowl, combine cheese sauce and cooked macaroni. Transfer into a lightly greased baking dish.

Sprinkle top with the buttered crackers.

Bake in a 350 F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and the mixture is bubbly.
