A delicious mac and cheese casserole, topped with a crispy, crunchy, cheesy crust.
Ingredients
- 2 cups elbow macaroni
- ¼ cup butter, divided
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
- 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once water is boiling, stir in macaroni and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and mix with 1/2 of the butter.
Step 3
While macaroni is boiling, melt remaining butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onions, and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook 5 minutes longer. Add milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Cook and stir until milk has thickened, about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Once thick and smooth, stir in salt, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, mustard, 2 cups Cheddar cheese, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheeses have melted, then stir in macaroni until evenly coated. Scrape into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Toss remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese with bread crumbs in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle evenly over macaroni.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until macaroni is hot and crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
