How to Make Baked Macaroni And Cheese Amish

  1. Preheat oven to 325-350°F (160-180°C).

  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with 2 cups of milk, 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of shredded Gruyere cheese (or substitute with more cheddar), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  5. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.
  6. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of bread crumbs evenly over the top.

  8. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
