How to Make Mikes Farm Mac and Cheese?

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter to ensure that your mac and cheese doesn’t stick to the pan.

Step 2:

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the macaroni according to the package instructions.

Step 3:

In the same large saucepan used for cooking the macaroni, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, gradually add in the flour while continuously stirring to create a roux. Cook the flour and butter mixture for 1-2 minutes, and keep stirring.

Step 4:

Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Add the salt, pepper, and paprika, stirring until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the sauce. Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a smooth consistency, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 5:

Once the sauce has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and add in 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir the cheeses into the sauce until they are fully melted and the sauce becomes creamy.

Step 6:

Now, it’s time to bring everything together. Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce in the saucepan, gently stirring until the macaroni is evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 7:

Transfer the creamy mac and cheese mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8:

In a small bowl, combine the remaining shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese with the breadcrumbs, mixing until they are evenly distributed. Sprinkle this breadcrumb-cheese mixture evenly over the top of the macaroni and cheese in the baking dish, to create a deliciously crunchy topping.

Step 9:

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the mac and cheese is golden brown on top.

Step 10:

Once baked, remove the mac and cheese from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. and enjoy your Mike’s Farm Mac and Cheese!
