Homemade Macaroni and Cheese Bake
Who doesn’t love a nice bowl of homemade macaroni and cheese? This particular baked version is always a big hit at our house. It’s easy to prepare and then basically bakes itself. Give it a try and fix some homemade macaroni for your family this week.
Baked Macaroni and Cheese
1 lb. elbow macaroni
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups grated cheddar cheese
12 Ritz crackers
Salt
1 tablespoon butter
Vegetable coating spray
Cook and drain the macaroni according to package instructions. Place the macaroni back in the pan and add a dash of salt and a pat of butter to avoid sticking. Set it aside to cool a little. Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a casserole dish. Spoon 1/3 of the macaroni into the dish and cover with 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of the grated cheese; add two more layers and use the cream instead of milk for the final layer.
Crush the Ritz crackers in a plastic bag then sprinkle the crumbs over the top later of the macaroni and cheese. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
