Recipe: Classic Macaroni & Cheese

Classic Macaroni & Cheese

16 ounces raw macaroni
½ cup real salted butter
½ cup flour
½ tbsp salt
4 cups whole or 2% milk
1 cup shredded Colby & Monterey Jack cheese blend
Garlic powder
Contadina Italian Bread Crumbs

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir flour into the butter until smooth and bubbly. Stir in salt. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add cheese and continue to cook and stir until melted. In an 8x10-inch baking dish, alternate layers of macaroni and cheese sauce. Sprinkle with garlic powder, then generously cover the top in bread crumbs. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 20-25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
