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.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
