How to Make Creamy Homemade Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Follow these directions to prepare this easy baked macaroni and cheese:

Boil pasta until al dente in salted water. I add 1/2 tsp. of salt to my water while boiling for flavor.

Grate cheddar and American cheese and set aside.

Over medium heat, melt butter in a large saucepan. Once melted, whisk in the flour and continue to whisk until combined. 

Slowly pour in 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of half and a half while continuously whisking. Add the rest of the milk and whisk. 

The mixture should be thick and smooth and not bumpy; add spices.

Once pasta is al dente, strain pasta, and mix with 1 tsp of oil. Add pasta to the Pyrex dish; and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350° f.

Reduce stove temperature to the lowest setting, and stir in the cream cheese. Whisk to combine. 

The mixture will thicken up even more.

Add half of the shredded cheese to the thickened sauce, and whisk until combined, and lump-free.

Pour cream cheese sauce over the pasta and mixing pasta with a rubber spatula to coat all surfaces.

Add remaining cheese and bake for 20 minutes at 350° until cheese is golden brown with the tiny bubble on top.
