How to Make Macaroni and Cheese

Macaroni and cheese is a time honored classic, but many people have stopped making it from scratch. We all love a good plate of Kraft every now and then, but once you know how to make Macaroni and cheese from scratch it pales in comparison. This recipe for four cheese mac and cheese is a family favorite.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Velveeta
• 1 cup half and half
• 8 oz block of colby cheese
• 8 oz block of monterey jack
• Parmesan Grated
• 1 pound of macaroni cooked
• Butter

1. Spray a large casserole dish lightly with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and boil entire box of macaroni.

2. Once the macaroni is boiled pour a layer of noodles into the bottom of the casserole dish. Slice four thin pats of butter and place them evenly spread out on top of the noodles.

3. Cut four slices of each of your cheeses and place them even spaced out on top of the noodles and butter. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the entire layer.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have no more macaroni. Make sure the last layer of noodles has a cheese and butter layer above it.

5. Pour the cup of half and half over top the layers evenly. Place uncovered in the oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
