How to Make Baked Mac N Cheese
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
- Cook 1 pound of elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or substitute with another strong cheese), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted butter.
- Pour 2 cups of milk evenly over the macaroni and cheese mixture, stirring gently to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.
- In a separate bowl, crush 1 cup of corn flakes into crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the topping is golden brown and crispy. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
