How to Make Lower Fat Macaroni And Cheese
- Cook 1 pound of macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
- Return the cooked macaroni to the pot.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream.
- Cover the pot to keep the macaroni warm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups of milk, 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add the cheese sauce to the cooked macaroni and sour cream mixture.
- Stir until well combined.
- Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons melted butter until crumbly.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly and heated through.
