Ingredients

• 1 lb. dry elbow macaroni pasta
• ½ cup of salted butter

• 2 cups of half-and-half, at room temperature

• 3 cups of grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided (at room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon of salt

How to Make Creamy Baked Mac and Cheese

1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta for 1 minute less than the package suggests for al dente (about 8 minutes). Drain the pasta and toss it with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. While the pasta is boiling, melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute.
4. Gradually whisk in the milk and half-and-half, bringing it to a boil over medium heat while whisking constantly. Remove from heat.
5. Add the Worcestershire sauce, Velveeta cheese, and half of the cheddar cheese (1 ½ cups) to the pot. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and smooth. Then, stir in the salt, dry mustard, black pepper, and nutmeg.
6. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the pot and stir to coat it evenly.
7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1 ½ cups of grated cheddar cheese on top.
8. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
9. For a crispier and browner top, you can broil the dish for an additional 2-5 minutes.

Now it’s time to indulge in the creamy goodness of this baked mac and cheese! The combination of Velveeta and sharp cheddar cheese creates a velvety smooth texture that will melt in your mouth. Serve it as a main course or as a side dish and enjoy the simple pleasure of comfort food at its best!
