How to Make Neelys Macaroni And Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 6 tablespoons (85g) of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in 1/4 cup (30g) of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in 4 cups (950ml) of warmed milk. Bring to a gentle boil, whisking continuously.
  5. Reduce heat to low and continue whisking until the sauce thickens.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste), and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
  7. Reduce heat to low and stir in 3 cups (240g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  8. Cook 1 pound (450g) elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain well.
  9. Pour the cheese sauce over the cooked macaroni and stir to combine.
  10. Transfer the macaroni and cheese to a greased 3-quart casserole dish.
  11. Top with 1 cup crushed potato chips, 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  12. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
