My sister truly treated my dad to a Father’s Day feast this year. She decided to make a spread of a few of his different favourites for him to savour and enjoy, and one dish included in the lineup was macaroni and cheese.
Blaine and I have very high standards when it comes to macaroni and cheese because of the incredible version of it his mom prepares, but I have to admit that my sister’s was fantastic. It was all of the things macaroni and cheese should be, without feeling as though you consumed a lead weight upon finishing it. I told my sister I appreciated the fact that it wasn’t incredibly heavy, and she shared the recipe with me for me to share with all of you. Coming from thecountrycook.net, check out this recipe for No Boil Homemade Macaroni and Cheese.
“Ingredients
- 4 cups milk (2% or higher)
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 2 cups macaroni, uncooked
- 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, sliced into 1/2-inch thickness (1/2 block)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided use)
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter, sliced into 1/2-inch thickness
“Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In the bottom of your baking dish, mix together 4 cups milk with 1 teaspoon table salt and 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder.
- Pour in 2 cups macaroni, uncooked and spread it out evenly.
- Then add 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, sliced into 1/2-inch thickness and HALF of the 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese into baking dish making sure to distribute it evenly.
- Top with 4 Tablespoons salted butter, sliced into 1/2-inch thickness (pushing them down a bit under the milk.)
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 50-60 minutes (until macaroni is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed). Oven times vary so check it around the 40 minute mark.
- Take it out of the oven, remove foil, and top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese (Note: you can add more cheese if you prefer.)
- Put it back in the oven (uncovered) for another 10-15 minutes (until cheese is melted,)” the recipe states.
Enjoy, my friends.
